NHL Insider Links Senators' Anton Forsberg to Eastern Conference Contender Senators goaltender Anton Forsberg is reportedly drawing interest from an Eastern contender.
Won't travel with Sens Forsberg (undisclosed) won't travel with the Senators on their upcoming road trip and remains without a timeline for return, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Impact The Senators will be without their backup netminder as they start a nine-game road trip Tuesday in Seattle. Leevi Merilainen was recalled from AHL Belleville to serve as Linus Ullmark's backup in Forsberg's absence.

Likely to miss time Forsberg's undisclosed injury that he sustained Saturday is bad enough that the Senators will need to recall a goaltender from AHL Belleville, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Impact Forsberg was hurt in the gym prior to the contest. He likely won't be ready for Tuesday's game in Seattle since the Senators are opting for a transaction, but the move hasn't been announced yet. If Forsberg is forced to miss a week or more, he could be placed on injured reserve.

Will not start after all Forsberg won't start at home versus the Penguins as previously reported, with Linus Ullmark instead getting the nod, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Impact Ullmark will surprisingly start both halves of the Senators' back-to-back. Forsberg will have to wait for another chance to end a skid that has seen him lose four of five starts with 16 goals allowed in that span.

Forsberg has lost four of his last five outings, giving up 16 goals on 116 shots in that span. The Penguins have turned things around recently, winning four of their last six games and scoring at least five goals in each of those victories.

In goal Sunday Forsberg will protect the home net versus the Islanders on Sunday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Forsberg will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Linus Ullmark played in Saturday's 3-1 win over Nashville. The 32-year-old Forsberg has a 4-5-0 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 10 appearances this season.

Crowned in loss Forsberg made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday.
Impact He allowed four goals. Forsberg is a middling option in net, even in daily formats. While he does have two shutouts this season, he's 4-5-0 with a 2.93 GAA and .896 save percentage. The Sens have struggled to win this season and sit just two points from bottom of the Eastern Conference. And they're 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. Forsberg will be a tough activation unless the team in front of him takes a big step forward. He can't carry them (or your fantasy squad).

In goal Saturday Forsberg will guard the road goal against the Kings on Saturday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Forsberg is coming off a 24-save effort in a 4-3 win over Calgary on Monday. He has a 4-4-0 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .901 save percentage across nine appearances this season. The Kings earned a 2-1 win over Anaheim on Friday and sit 16th in the league with 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gets win over Calgary Forsberg stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
Impact He allowed a goal in each period, but the Senators' power play cashed in twice to support Forsberg in his first win since Nov. 2. The 31-year-old netminder has either been excellent or middling at times -- he's 4-4-0 with two of his wins coming via shutout, but he's allowed at least three goals in seven of nine appearances. That puts him at a 2.79 GAA and a .901 save percentage this season. Forsberg shouldn't have to wait long for his next start, as the Senators are set for a three-game road trip through California, which includes a back-to-back in Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday.

Looking to douse Flames Forsberg will be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Forsberg has appeared in just one of the Senators' last seven contests, posting a 3.02 GAA in a loss to Carolina on Nov. 16. Still, with Linus Ullmark riding a four-game losing streak, it could open the door for Forsberg to get an extra start or two -- especially when Ottawa heads into a back-to-back versus the Kings and Ducks on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Receives no help in loss Forsberg allowed three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact Forsberg didn't get any help Saturday, taking his third loss in four starts, though his one win in that span was a shutout. The 31-year-old netminder has two shutouts on the year, but he's given up at least three goals in every other outing. He's now 3-4-0 with a 2.76 GAA and a .903 save percentage through eight contests this season. Forsberg remains in the backup role behind Linus Ullmark, though the former should draw a start roughly once a week, even when there are no back-to-back sets to deal with.

Settling into groove behind Ullmark Forsberg made 21 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
Impact Overall, Forsberg is now 3-3-0 in seven starts with a 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage. He's off to his best start to the season since 2021-22, which would make him an ideal play-every-third-game option for the Sens. The team needs to ensure Linus Ullmark is healthy for a postseason run, and Forsberg will play an important role in that.
