Wins high-scoring game Forsberg allowed three goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact It wasn't a strong start for Forsberg as Dmitri Voronkov scored on only the second shot of the game on a pass from Kent Johnson. The Senators responded with four consecutive goals to give him a cushy lead but the Blue Jackets would just not go away. They fired 34 shots in the final two frames alone and made the game close with two more goals to get within one. Forsberg continued to answer the bell, kicking aside the final 22 shots sent his way to secure the win as he finished with a .925 save percentage. The Senators look to make it five consecutive wins when they face the Ducks on Thursday at home.

Returns to crease Tuesday Forsberg (groin) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his home start against Columbus on Tuesday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Impact Forsberg, who has been out since Jan. 11, has a 7-8-0 record this season with a 3.35 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 16 appearances. Columbus is tied for 24th in the league this campaign with 2.90 goals per contest.

Not ready to return Forsberg (groin) will not be in the lineup Saturday versus Toronto, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Impact Coach Jacques Martin said that Forsberg still needs more practice time and will not back up Joonas Korpisalo. Kevin Mandolese will remain on the roster at least one more game and will back up Korpisalo on Saturday. Forsberg is 7-8-0 with a 3.35 GAA and an .889 save percentage this season.

Expected to be activated Saturday Forsberg (groin) is expected to be activated from long-term injured reserve to back up Joonas Korpisalo in Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg was hurt Jan. 11 versus the Sabres, but he has already missed the 10 games and 24 days necessary for activation from LTIR. The 31-year-old hasn't won since Dec. 31, and with Korpisalo improving in recent games, Forsberg may remain in the backup role for a while.

Lands on LTIR Forsberg (groin) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Forsberg's placement on LTIR means he'll be out at least until after the All-Star break in early February. The 31-year-old suffered the injury Thursday against Buffalo. He's gone 7-8-0 with a 3.35 GAA and an .889 save percentage this season. With Forsberg out, the team promoted Mads Sogaard and will likely have Joonas Korpisalo handle most of the work.

Outlook not good Forsberg (groin) is not expected to be out short-term but is still being evaluated Friday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg was forced off against Buffalo on Thursday after just 15:56 of ice time due to his groin problem. The 31-year-old Swede was splitting the workload with Joonas Korpisalo but will now face an extended stint on the shelf. Korpisalo figures to see the majority of the workload with Forsberg unavailable while Mads Sogaard could be called up from the minors.

Exits in first period Forsberg (lower body) was injured in Thursday's game versus the Sabres, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Forsberg stopped six of seven shots over 15:56 of playing time before suffering the injury. Joonas Korpisalo entered in relief, while Forsberg's injury likely casts doubt on his availability for Saturday's game versus the Sharks and beyond.

Starting Thursday Forsberg will defend the road crease in Buffalo on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg has been inconsistent this season, especially in his last three starts as he turned aside 45 shots Dec. 31 in a 5-1 win over Buffalo. He was terrible two days later, giving up four goals on 13 shots before he was pulled late in the opening period versus Vancouver. Forsberg was once again solid Saturday, stopping 43 shots in a 3-1 loss in Edmonton. Overall, Forsberg is 7-8-0 with a 3.34 GAA and an .889 save percentage. He will face the Sabres, who are 19th in goals scored this season, after finishing third in the NHL in 2022-23.

Taking on Oilers Forsberg will guard the road goal in Saturday's game versus the Oilers.

Impact Forsberg has allowed 18 goals over his last five outings, going 2-3-0 in that span. He'll have a tough matchup Saturday, as the Oilers' offense has been clicking with 29 goals over their last six contests.

Chased in first period Forsberg allowed four goals on 13 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact The Canucks pressured early and got goals from both stars and depth players. Joonas Korpisalo played 42:43 after Forsberg's exit and faced just as many shots, stopping 11 of 13 in the relief effort. Forsberg will wear the loss for this one, ending his two-game winning streak. He's now at 7-7-0 with a 3.36 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 14 appearances. Both of the Senators' goalies have struggled recently, which leaves the team's No. 1 job between the pipes wide open. The road trip continues Thursday with a visit to the surging Kraken.

Busy in Sunday's win Forsberg made a season-high 45 saves in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact It was the first time this season Forsberg has faced 40 or more shots, but the veteran netminder rose to the challenge, and the only puck to get past him came after an Ottawa turnover set up Tage Thompson for a scoring chance late in the first period. Forsberg had given up 13 goals on 80 shots over his three prior starts, but Sunday's stellar performance allowed him to escape December with a 2.68 GAA and .920 save percentage through six outings.

Wins, but risk still high Forsberg made 30 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact It was Forsberg's first win in three games; he is now 3-2-0 i his last five games. Despite the win, it's important to flag that Forsberg has allowed four or more goals in his last three (13 total). Nice win, but the risk remains high.

First off ice Saturday Forsberg was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Get...

Impact It was thought that Joonas Korpisalo would get the start as he was in the starter's crease at practice, but it looks like it will be Forsberg. Forsberg has struggled this season, going 5-6-0 with a 3.23 GAA and an .876 save percentage. The Penguins are 26th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.81 goals per game.

Gives up five goals Forsberg allowed five goals on 24 shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Impact The Senators led 3-2 after the first period, but Forsberg couldn't stop the Stars' comeback push. He had sat out the last three games after a stretch of starting three in a row in which he gave up just six goals on 96 shots. Forsberg is now at a 5-6-0 record with a 3.23 GAA and an .876 save percentage while serving as Joonas Korpisalo's backup. The Senators' next game is Sunday in Vegas.

Draws start Friday Forsberg will patrol the blue paint in Dallas on Friday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact After turning aside a combined 72 of 74 shots in his first two starts this month, Forsberg was tagged with four goals on 22 shots in a loss to Toronto on Dec. 7. The 31-year-old netminder is 5-5-0 with a 3.03 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Neither Forsberg nor Joonas Korpisalo have been able to establish themself as the better option in Ottawa.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid not good enough Forsberg made 18 saves Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Toronto.

Impact Forsberg has been the better Sens goalie of late. This was a solid start for the netminder, but an extra save here and there would have been the difference between the W and the L. Watch for Forsberg to earn a bit more time than so-called starter Joonas Korpisalo.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns third straight start Forsberg will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg has allowed eight goals over his last four games, going 3-1-0 in that span. The 31-year-old has outplayed Joonas Korpisalo recently, and that has given Forsberg a chance to challenge for more playing time. He'll have a tough test Thursday as the Maple Leafs have gone 6-2-2 over their last 10 games.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches fifth win Forsberg stopped 33 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder won for the third time in his last four starts with a sharp performance during a game in which the Senators never trailed. Forsberg remains erratic, however -- he's given up a total of three goals in those three victories, but he's coughed up five goals in each of his other two starts over the last month. While Joonas Korpisalo's own bumpy recent form has resulted in the two goalies falling into something of a timeshare, Forsberg's 5-4-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season aren't particularly impressive.
