• Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Shines in win

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Forsling logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Jets. Forsling set up Mackie Samoskevich on the opening goal and also had a shorthanded helper on Aleksander Barkov's goal in the second period. This was Forsling's first multi-point effort of the season, and it snapped his five-game skid. The defenseman has three goals, seven helpers, 34 shots on net, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 18 outings this season. Forsling is a huge part of the Panthers' success, but the one knock on him for fantasy is a lack of power-play time.

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Forsling scored the game-winning goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. The six shots were a season high for Forsling, who also logged 28:07 of ice time despite the Panthers dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old is off to an excellent start this season, producing two goals, two assists, a plus-9 rating, 14 shots on net, five blocked shots and four hits over seven contests. He's recorded at least 37 points in three straight regular seasons, and while Forsling sees minimal power-play time, he more than makes up for it with steady even-strength offense.

• Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Tallies lone goal in loss

  10/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Forsling scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Senators. Forsling got the Panthers on the board in the second period. The defenseman has added a plus-4 rating and four shots on net through two contests while seeing time on the top pairing at even strength. He wasn't in the power-play mix Thursday, with Uvis Balinskis instead getting time with the man advantage. Florida's offense is a strong one, so Forsling should have no trouble contributing, but the lack of a power-play role lowers his scoring ceiling for fantasy purposes.
