Anton Forsberg - NHL News & Rumors

Back in win column Forsberg turned aside 25 of 26 shots on goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.

Impact Forsberg was excellent Sunday in a tightly contested road victory, allowing less than three goals in a game for just the third time this season. This was his first win since Nov. 25, but he did miss most of December with a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old has conceded 12 goals on 105 shots through four appearances in January, turning in a 1-2-1 record in that span. Overall, Forsberg is 5-8-1 with an .888 save percentage and a 2.95 GAA through 15 starts in 2024-25.

Gets no help in loss Forsberg stopped 17 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact It was a rough night for Ottawa in all three zones and Forsberg was hung out to dry, with Buffalo's final tally deflecting in off Thomas Chabot's leg. The veteran netminder has gone 0-2-1 while starting three straight games since returning from a lower-body injury, giving up 11 goals on 79 shots (.861 save percentage). There's no timeline yet for Linus Ullmark (back) to rejoin the Sens, but Forsberg will likely begin ceding work back to Leevi Merilainen unless he can turn things around.

First goalie off Forsberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Buffalo.

Impact Forsberg hasn't exactly impressed since returning from a lower-body injury, going 0-1-1 in two appearances to go with a 3.44 GAA. Still, with a back-to-back upcoming, Forsberg figures to split games against the Penguins and Stars on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, with Leevi Merilainen. Once Linus Ullmark (back) is cleared to play, Forsberg figures to once again be relegated to the No. 2 role in Ottawa.

Falls to Wings in OT Forsberg made 30 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Two of Detroit's goals came on the power play, including Patrick Kane's OT winner. Forsberg has started two straight games since returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals on 58 shots, and he seems poised to handle No. 1 duties for the Senators over 22-year-old rookie Leevi Merilainen until Linus Ullmark (back) is healthy again.

Between pipes in Detroit Forsberg will draw the road start Tuesday against the Red Wings, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg made his first start since Dec. 8 in a 4-0 loss to the Blues on Friday after missing nine games due to a lower-body injury. The Swedish netminder has struggled in 2024-25, but he'll have an opportunity to prove his worth due to Linus Ullmark (back) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. The Red Wings are 4-1-0 since Todd McLellan took over as head coach Dec. 26.

Gets no help in return Forsberg stopped 21 of 25 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blues.

Impact Forsberg returned from a nine-game absence due to a lower-body injury. His Senators teammates failed to provide any scoring support, and Forsberg let in a goal to Brayden Schenn and three more to Brandon Saad in the loss. Forsberg is down to 4-7-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 12 appearances this season. He could share the playing time between the pipes with Leevi Merilainen until Linus Ullmark (back) is able to return. The Senators wrap up a nine-game road trip Tuesday in Detroit.

Starting against St. Louis Forsberg will be between the road pipes against the Blues on Friday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Although Leevi Merilainen drew the road start in Dallas on Thursday in the first half of a back-to-back set, Forsberg will return the crease for the first time since Dec. 8 after missing time with a lower-body injury. Forsberg made 11 appearances prior to his absence, posting a 4-6-0 record, 2.95 GAA and .889 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup during his first game back in action, as the Blues are averaging just 2.69 goals this season, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Activated Thursday Forsberg (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday and will be the backup goaltender in Dallas, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg has missed the last nine games. He is 4-6-0 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.95 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 11 outings this season. He will back up Leevi Merilainen on Thursday and will get the majority of starts until Linus Ullmark returns to action from a back injury.
