Starting Saturday Forsberg will protect the home net Saturday against Tampa Bay, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg is coming off a 32-save effort in Thursday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey. He has posted a record of 0-1-0 while allowing six goals on 44 shots in two appearances this season. Tampa Bay has potted 12 goals through three outings in 2024-25.

Downed by Devils Forsberg turned aside 32 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey.

Impact After a scoreless first period, the Devils' offense got rolling in the second, but the Sens didn't get on the board until Brady Tkachuk found a power-play tally with 65 seconds left in the final frame. Forsberg has made two starts in place of Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) and stumbled to an .864 save percentage, so if Ottawa's new No. 1 isn't ready to go Saturday against Tampa Bay, Mads Sogaard could get the nod in the crease instead.

Starting against New Jersey Forsberg will start in the home crease during Thursday's game against the Devils, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Although Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) was on the ice during Thursday's morning skate, he isn't yet ready to return to game action, which will allow Forsberg to draw his second start of the season, while Mads Sogaard will dress as the backup. Forsberg struggled during Monday's game against the Kings, turning aside six of nine shots before getting the hook in the second period following a collision. He appeared to be fine following the collision, and it's encouraging that he'll make a second consecutive start Thursday.

Gets hook Monday Forsberg allowed three goals on nine shots before being replaced by Mads Sogaard early in the second period of Monday's 8-7 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact While Forsberg got the hook after a collision, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, he appeared to be fine and remained on the bench. Two of the three pucks to beat the netminder came on Los Angeles power plays, but it still wasn't an inspiring performance from Forsberg in his first start in place of Linus Ullmark (muscle strain). Ottawa doesn't play again until Thursday, but it's not clear if Ullmark will be ready to go by then, or who would get the start instead if he isn't.

Starting Monday Forsberg will guard the home goal Monday against the Kings, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Impact With Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) unavailable for Monday's contest, Forsberg's backup will be Mads Soogard. The 31-year-old Forsberg posted a 15-12-0 record with two shutouts, a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Backstops win Friday Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime preseason win against Detroit.

Impact Forsberg enters the 2024-25 campaign as the clear-cut No. 2 netminder behind Linus Ullmark. Forsberg has the ability to perform capably as a backup, but the Swedish goaltender has never posted a save percentage above .917 in his nine-year NHL career. The 31-year-old went 15-12-0 with an .890 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Starting in Detroit Forsberg will protect the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Red Wings, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg is set to start for the third time this preseason. The 31-year-old has allowed five goals on 45 shots over his first two appearances. He'll begin 2024-25 as the backup to Linus Ullmark, so Forsberg shouldn't be expected to see much more than 25 games this year under ideal circumstances.

In goal against Pittsburgh Forsberg will patrol the home crease versus the Penguins on Sunday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg will start Sunday's contest before turning the net over to Leevi Merilainen. It will be Forsberg's second appearance of the preseason -- the Sweden native is projected to be Ottawa's No. 2 netminder this season. Forsberg posted a record of 15-12-0 with an .890 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Set to start Tuesday Forsberg was in the starter's crease ahead of Tuesday's preseason matchup with Toronto at home, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod.

Impact Forsberg figures to have the inside track on the backup job heading into the 2024-25 campaign, with Mads Sogaard a potential challenger. Even if Forsberg does win the No. 2 gig as expected, he is unlikely to see significant work this year behind Linus Ullmark. Fantasy managers can likely expect Forsberg to top out around 30 games played, barring a long-term injury to Ullmark.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in win No. 15 Forsberg made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder nearly recorded his third shutout of the season, but Pavel Zacha tucked home a power-play tally midway through the third period. Forsberg wraps up the campaign with a 15-12-0 record in 30 outings with a 3.21 GAA and .890 save percentage, his worst ratios since he became an NHL regular in 2017-18. He has one season left on his contract at an affordable $2.75 million however, so Forsberg is likely to be back in Ottawa next season, even if only in a backup role.

Starting in Beantown Forsberg will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg played well in his last start Thursday versus Tampa Bay, turning aside 24 of 26 shots in regulation before securing a 3-2 win in the shootout. He'll try to end the season with a bang by picking up a win in a tough road matchup with a Boston team that's 24-10-6 at home this year.

Battles to shootout win Forsberg made 24 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact His team got off to a slow start, but Forsberg battled throughout to keep them in the game. He's in the middle of a three-year contract with an AAV of $2.75 million, so he'll be in the hunt for expanded work come summer.

Making road start Forsberg will start between the pipes in Thursday's road game versus the Lightning, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg struggled mightily in his last start Saturday against New Jersey, surrendering three goals on just nine shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo late in the first period of the eventual 4-3 defeat. Forsberg was credited with the loss. He'll try to get back on track in a rough road matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's 24-10-4 at home this year.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Yanked in first period Forsberg was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact His game had more holes than Swiss cheese. After a four-game winning streak in February, Forsberg has essentially fallen on his face. He's 2-4-0 in his last seven starts, and that span includes two games where he was pulled. Suffice to say Forsberg is a fantasy risk, so deploy him at your own peril.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Forsberg will guard the home net Saturday against the Devils, Josh Bartlett of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Forsberg came on in relief of Joonas Korpisalo on Thursday, allowing two goals on 14 shots versus the Panthers. Overall, Forsberg is 13-12-0 on the year with an .888 save percentage and 3.28 GAA. New Jersey is averaging 3.28 goals per game this season, though they've dropped their last three contests.
