Forsling has a meager three goals and nine points in 27 games, but his 55 shots, 37 blocked shots, 24 hits and stellar plus-17 rating give him added fantasy value in formats that utilize a broader range of categories.

With Aaron Ekblad (shoulder) and Brandon Montour (shoulder) not expected back until late November, Forsling still has some time to take advantage of that assignment.
