Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
Forsberg has looked impressive in his last two appearances, winning both times. He's allowed just two goals on 56 shots faced over that stretch and could continue to see starts here and there. That said, he probably won't be taking over the team's No. 1 role between the pipes from Darcy Kuemper any time soon.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start in Detroit
Rotowire
Forsberg is expected to be between the road pipes against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.
Forsberg is 2-0-1 and has turned aside a combined 81 of 87 shots (.931 save percentage) over his previous three appearances. The veteran netminder will have a tough test against a Detroit team that is 18-8-1 on home ice this season. However, Forsberg has an exceptional track record against the Red Wings during his career, registering a 3-0-1 record, 1.74 GAA and .939 save percentage over four outings.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Relieves injured Kuemper in win
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Forsberg entered the game late in the first period after Kuemper left following some contact in the crease. The 33-year-old Forsberg was excellent over the final two frames, limiting the Rangers to only J.T. Miller's goal with 27 seconds left in the third period. Should Kuemper miss time, Forsberg would resume the No. 1 role as he did for a couple of weeks in December during Kuemper's previous absence. With the win, Forsberg is up to 8-6-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next matchup is Saturday in St. Louis to begin a six-game road trip, so fantasy managers have some time to see how Kuemper's injury situation plays out before rushing to add Forsberg.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Takes overtime loss Saturday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Goal support continues to be a problem -- the Kings have scored a total of eight goals over Forsberg's last four appearances. The 33-year-old netminder is 1-1-1 in that span with nine goals allowed on 88 shots. Forsberg is at a 7-6-4 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Kings' next game is Tuesday versus the Rangers, and it doesn't look like Darcy Kuemper has lost control of the No. 1 job yet despite some recent mediocre play, so expect Forsberg to remain in the backup role.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Saturday
Rotowire
Forsberg will play in goal on the road versus the Ducks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg is making his first start in four games. The 33-year-old has watched Darcy Kuemper fail to record a win in the last three contests, so the door could be open for Forsberg to push into a timeshare with a good performance here. He's 7-6-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 17 outings this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Collects shootout win
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 21 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.
Forsberg wasn't able to make a third-period lead stick, but he turned aside Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the shootout to come away with the win. Forsberg has just three wins over his last nine outings, allowing 21 goals on 222 shots in that span. For the season, he's up to 7-6-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 17 appearances (15 starts). Darcy Kuemper has struggled since returning from an upper-body injury, so the opportunity may be there for Forsberg to get more time if he can consistently earn wins. The Kings' next game is Monday at home versus the Stars.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start Saturday
Rotowire
Forsberg is expected to defend the road net against Edmonton on Saturday, per Jared Shafran of LA Kings Insider.
Even though he made a relief appearance in Friday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, the Kings still plan to turn to Forsberg for the second half of the team's back-to-back. He has posted a 6-6-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 16 appearances. Edmonton is tied for fourth in the league with 3.39 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Works third period Friday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
Forsberg played the third period for his first action over five games in January. Darcy Kuemper has struggled since returning from an upper-body injury, but Forsberg's play wasn't all that special during Kuemper's absence. On the season, Forsberg is 6-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 16 appearances. Both of the Kings' goalies are clear fades heading into Saturday's road matchup versus the Oilers.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Beaten four times Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 21 of 25 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.
Forsberg has been elevated to the No. 1 role between the posts due to the absence of Darcy Kuemper (upper body), but Forsberg has been inconsistent, allowing three or more goals in four of his last six starts. Over that stretch, the 33-year-old veteran has gone 2-4-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .907 save percentage. The Kings' offense hasn't done him any favors either. Los Angeles has managed two or fewer goals in seven of Forsberg's last eight appearances.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Expected to face Colorado
Rotowire
Forsberg is slated to start on the road against Colorado, per Zach Dooley on LA Kings Insider.
Forsberg stopped 25 of 26 shots en route to a 6-1 win over Anaheim on Saturday. After that victory, he's 6-5-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 14 outings this season. The Avalanche are an extremely tough adversary, ranking first in goals per game with 3.97 in 2025-26. Colorado is even stronger at home with its 15-0-2 record and average of 4.41 goals per game.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Cruises to win Saturday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
Forsberg had lost three of his previous four outings going into Saturday's start, but he managed to bounce back and got six goals of support from his teammates. Forsberg has only two wins in his last six appearances, but he's likely to remain the Kings' starting netminder in the absence of Darcy Kuemper (upper body).

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Starting versus Ducks
Rotowire
Forsberg will protect the home goal versus the Ducks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg has allowed 10 goals on 111 shots over his last four games, going 1-3-0 in that span. The 33-year-old goalie will have a tough task ahead with the Ducks, who have cooled off lately, scoring 11 goals over their last four games while going 1-2-1 in that span.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gives up three goals
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Forsberg has started the last four games for the Kings, but the results haven't been encouraging -- he has three losses in that span (1-3-0) and has allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. The Swede netminder has made 13 starts this season, going 5-5-3 with a 2.73 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He should remain as the Kings' No. 1 netminder as long as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) remains on injured reserve.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Drawing home start Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg will be between the home pipes against Columbus on Monday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Forsberg snapped his three-game losing streak in Tampa Bay on Thursday, turning aside 31 of 32 shots (.969 save percentage) in a 2-1 win. The Kings have been off since that contest, while Monday's matchup will conclude a brief two-game road trip for the Blue Jackets, who were shut out by a 4-0 score in Anaheim on Saturday. Columbus will be without Zach Werenski (lower body) in Los Angeles, which should play into Forsberg's favor, as Werenski (40 points) ranks second to only Cale Makar (43 points) in scoring among blueliners across the NHL this season. Furthermore, the Blue Jackets have dropped two straight games and seven of their last eight.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Sharp in win over Bolts
Rotowire
Forsberg made 31 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
Forsberg is the man in the blue paint this week with Darcy Kuemper sidelined due to an upper-body injury. Forsberg made 26 saves Wednesday night in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers, and he drew the start in the second half of the back-to-back set as well. The Bolts put one power-play goal past him, which came on a rebound on a low-slot scramble. Forsberg is 5-4-3 with one shutout, 2.69 GAA and .901 save percentage in 2025-26. The win snapped the Kings' four-game losing streak (0-2-2).

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg will start Thursday's road game versus the Lightning.
Forsberg will start both halves of a back-to-back after he allowed three goals on 28 shots versus the Panthers on Wednesday. The 33-year-old will get the nod on consecutive days, as the Kings appear reluctant to allow Pheonix Copley to see the net in this tough matchup. After Thursday, the Kings will be off until Monday's home game versus the Blue Jackets, which is the start of another back-to-back set.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Takes third straight loss
Rotowire
Forsberg made 25 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
The Kings gave the veteran netminder a 1-0 lead in the first period on a Joel Armia power-play tally, but Forsberg couldn't make it hold up. It was his first start since Darcy Kuemper (upper body) landed on IR, but his third straight losing decision, as Forsberg has gone 0-2-1 in his last three outings while allowing nine goals on 81 shots. The Kings are likely to lean heavily on Forsberg while Kuemper is on the shelf, but if he struggles, Pheonix Copley has plenty of NHL experience as the No. 2 goalie.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: First goalie off Wednesday
Rotowire
Forsberg was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports, indicating that he'll defend the road crease against Florida.
Forsberg is in line to serve as the Kings' top netminder while Darcy Kuemper (upper body) is on injured reserve. Forsberg has made 10 appearances this year, going 4-3-3 with a 2.82 GAA and an .893 save percentage. He drew a home start against the Panthers on Nov. 6 and allowed five goals on 24 shots (.792 save percentage) in a 5-2 loss.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Beaten three times Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 17 of 20 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 32 seconds left in the third period.
Forsberg had to enter the game in the second period after Darcy Kuemper exited with an upper-body injury. If Kuemper is forced to miss additional time, Forsberg could see more playing time between the pipes. This wasn't his finest outing, though to be fair, he was facing one of the best teams in the Western Conference. Forsberg owns a 4-3-3 record with a 2.82 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 10 appearances this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Allows trio of power-play tallies
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.
A goalie needs to be his team's best penalty killer, and Forsberg wasn't able to live up to that standard in Wednesday's defeat. All three of the Kraken's goals came on their power plays, including one that was a result of a tripping penalty by Forsberg himself that led to the tying tally. He's down to 4-2-3 on the year with a 2.72 GAA and an .896 save percentage over nine appearances. Forsberg will continue to handle backup duties behind Darcy Kuemper. The Kings' next back-to-back is a week away, so Forsberg shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.
