Forsling (illness) was on the ice for Team Sweden's practice session Tuesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. Forsling missed Monday's practice, but he skated on the second pairing with Rasmus Dahlin on Tuesday. Forsling's return to full strength will most likely push Rasmus Andersson out of the starting lineup. Team Sweden will take on Team Canada in the first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament Wednesday.

Forsling scored a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over Ottawa. Forsling lofted a shot inside the blue line that Linus Ullmark should have had for his first goal in 10 games. Forsling has eight tallies in 57 appearances this season (21 points). He will be lucky to hit the 30-point mark this season after averaging 39 over his previous three campaigns. If it's any consolation, Forsling is pounding pucks at the net and could hit the 200 mark. That may help some fantasy managers.

Forsling dished out two assists, posted a plus-3 rating and had three shots on goal in Sunday's 6-3 win against the Islanders. Forsling generated a rebound off Islanders goalie Jakub Skarek for the defenseman's first assist. The second helper came just before the end of the second period, when Forsling set up Sam Reinhart. On the season, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to 13 assists, 20 points, a plus-26 rating, 138 shots on net and 60 blocked shots in 54 appearances. His rating of plus-26 is tied for fifth-best in the league, proving Forsling's impact goes well beyond his offensive contributions. Forsling provides well-rounded category coverage for fantasy purposes.

Forsling scored an empty-net goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Ducks. Forsling has two goals and two helpers over nine outings in January. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to handle more responsibility while Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is out of the lineup. Forsling is at seven goals, 18 points, 123 shots on net, 43 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating through 47 appearances. Even once Ekblad is healthy, Forsling is likely to remain in a top-pairing role for his defensive performance.

Forsling logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Utah. Forsling has three points over his last five contests, a marked improvement compared to the two points he registered over the prior 17 games. The 28-year-old blueliner doesn't necessarily have to score to be effective on the ice, but it is crucial to his fantasy value. Forsling has six goals, 10 helpers, 106 shots on net, 39 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 42 appearances this season.
