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

Senators' Anton Forsberg: 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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: 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.
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.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: 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. The team later reported that Forsberg sustained a minor injury prior to the pregame warmup.
Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Forsberg's absence will be covered by an emergency backup goaltender. Ullmark will start both halves of the Senators' back-to-back, while 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.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Crowned in loss
Forsberg made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg is a mediocre choice in most games, even in daily formats. While he does have two shutouts this season, he's 4-5-0 with a 2.93 GAA and an .896 save percentage. Ottawa has struggled to record wins this season and sits just two points from the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Forsberg will be a challenging activation unless the team takes a big step forward. He can't carry them or your fantasy squad.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Gets win over Calgary
Forsberg stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
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.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Looking to douse Flames
Forsberg will be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Forsberg has appeared in just one of the Senators' last seven contests, allowing three goals on 27 shots 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.

Forsberg allowed three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg didn't get any help Saturday, taking his third loss in four starts, though his one win in that span was a shutout.

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.
