Senators' Anton Forsberg: Settling into groove behind Ullmark
Forsberg made 21 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
Overall, Forsberg is now 3-3-0 in seven starts with a 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage. He's off to his best start to the season since 2021-22, which would make him an ideal play-every-third-game option for the Sens. The team needs to ensure Linus Ullmark is healthy for a postseason run, and Forsberg will play an important role in that.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Thursday
Forsberg was the first goalie off Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll draw the start at home against the Islanders.
Forsberg has been on the bench for four of the Senators' last six games, but he'll be between the pipes as the team returns home Thursday. The 31-year-old picked up his second shutout of the season during his last start, turning aside all 22 shots he saw in a 3-0 win over the Kraken on Saturday.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Shuts out Kraken
Forsberg posted a 22-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Forsberg bounced back from his loss in Colorado to earn his second shutout of the season. The 31-year-old has allowed at least three goals in his other four outings of the season, leaving him with fairly average numbers. He's 3-2-0 with a 2.65 GAA and a .910 save percentage over six appearances (five starts). Linus Ullmark should see a majority of the starts, but Forsberg has been reliable when called upon and probably won't sit too long between appearances.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Tending twine Saturday
Forsberg will protect the home net Saturday against Seattle, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Forsberg will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Linus Ullmark played in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. The 31-year-old Forsberg has a 2-2-0 record with a 3.27 GAA and an .895 save percentage through five appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 13th in the league with 3.27 goals per game in 2024-25.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Takes loss Sunday
Forsberg surrendered four goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg didn't play the full contest -- he twice had to leave the ice in the second period due to skate issues. He gave up every goal the Avalanche scored against a netminder, dropping his record to 2-2-0 with a 3.27 GAA and an .895 save percentage through five appearances. Forsberg functioned as the Senators' starter while Linus Ullmark dealt with a muscle strain, but Ullmark should resume the starting role moving forward. Forsberg's next start will likely come during a back-to-back as the Senators visit the Rangers on Friday before hosting the Kraken on Saturday.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting on road
Forsberg will start against the Avalanche on Sunday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg will make his fifth start of the season -- he's posted a 2-1-0 record, .904 save percentage and 2.94 GAA. In his last appearance, the Swedish netminder registered a 31-save shutout in a 4-0 victory against Utah on Oct. 22. Forsberg will face a Colorado team that's scoring 3.63 goals per game.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Shuts out Utah
Forsberg posted a 31-save shutout in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Utah.
The Senators scored all four of their goals in the first period, and Forsberg made sure Utah never mounted a comeback. This was the sixth shutout of his career, all of which have come over the last four seasons. The 31-year-old goalie has allowed 10 goals on 104 shots over four appearances this season, going 2-1-0. He'll likely continue to feature in a starting role until Linus Ullmark (strain) is able to return.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Draws start Tuesday
Forsberg will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road tilt versus Utah, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg will make his third start and fourth appearance of the campaign -- he's stopped 63 of 73 shots en route to a 1-1-0 record. The 31-year-old is Ottawa's de facto No. 1 at the moment while Linus Ullmark (strain) works his way back from injury. Forsberg will take on a Utah club that is 4-1-1 through six games while averaging 3.67 goals.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Solid in first win
Forsberg made 25 saves in a 5-4 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Forsberg earned his first win of the season in his third appearance. He has been filling in for Linus Ullmark (strain), who has missed three straight games. The 31-year-old Forsberg has benefited from the additional playing time, but Ullmark could be back as early as Tuesday's matchup at Utah.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting Saturday
Forsberg will protect the home net Saturday against Tampa Bay, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg is coming off a 32-save effort in Thursday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey. He has posted a record of 0-1-0 while allowing six goals on 44 shots in two appearances this season. Tampa Bay has potted 12 goals through three outings in 2024-25.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Downed by Devils
Forsberg turned aside 32 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey.
After a scoreless first period, the Devils' offense got rolling in the second, but the Senators didn't get on the board until Brady Tkachuk found a power-play tally with 65 seconds left in the final frame. Forsberg has made two starts in place of Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) and stumbled to an .864 save percentage, so if Ottawa's new No. 1 isn't ready to go Saturday against Tampa Bay, Mads Sogaard could get the nod in the crease instead.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting against New Jersey
Forsberg will start in the home crease during Thursday's game against the Devils, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Although Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) was on the ice during Thursday's morning skate, he isn't yet ready to return to game action, which will allow Forsberg to draw his second start of the season, while Mads Sogaard will dress as the backup. Forsberg struggled during Monday's game against the Kings, turning aside six of nine shots before getting the hook in the second period following a collision. He appeared to be fine following the collision, and it's encouraging that he'll make a second consecutive start Thursday.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Gets hook Monday
Forsberg allowed three goals on nine shots before being replaced by Mads Sogaard early in the second period of Monday's 8-7 overtime win over the Kings.
While Forsberg got the hook after a collision, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, he appeared to be fine and remained on the bench. Two of the three pucks to beat the netminder came on Los Angeles power plays, but it still wasn't an inspiring performance from Forsberg in his first start in place of Linus Ullmark (muscle strain). Ottawa doesn't play again until Thursday, but it's not clear if Ullmark will be ready to go by then, or who would get the start instead if he isn't.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting Monday
Forsberg will guard the home goal Monday against the Kings, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
With Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) unavailable for Monday's contest, Forsberg's backup will be Mads Sogaard. The 31-year-old Forsberg posted a 15-12-0 record with two shutouts, a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Backstops win Friday
Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime preseason win against Detroit.
Forsberg enters the 2024-25 campaign as the clear-cut No. 2 netminder behind Linus Ullmark. Forsberg has the ability to perform capably as a backup, but the Swedish goaltender has never posted a save percentage above .917 in his nine-year NHL career. The 31-year-old went 15-12-0 with an .890 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting in Detroit
Forsberg will protect the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Red Wings, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg is set to start for the third time this preseason. The 31-year-old has allowed five goals on 45 shots over his first two appearances. He'll begin 2024-25 as the backup to Linus Ullmark, so Forsberg shouldn't be expected to see much more than 25 games this year under ideal circumstances.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: In goal against Pittsburgh
Forsberg will patrol the home crease versus the Penguins on Sunday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg will start Sunday's contest before turning the net over to Leevi Merilainen. It will be Forsberg's second appearance of the preseason -- the Swede is projected to be Ottawa's No. 2 netminder this season behind countryman Linus Ullmark. Forsberg posted a record of 15-12-0 with an .890 save percentage and a 3.21 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Tuesday
Forsberg was in the starter's crease ahead of Tuesday's preseason matchup with Toronto at home, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod.
Forsberg figures to have the inside track on the backup job heading into the 2024-25 campaign, with Mads Sogaard a potential challenger. Even if Forsberg does win the No. 2 gig as expected, he is unlikely to see significant work this year behind Linus Ullmark. Fantasy managers can likely expect Forsberg to top out at around 30 games played, barring a long-term injury to Ullmark.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Sharp in win No. 15
Forsberg made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
The 31-year-old netminder nearly recorded his third shutout of the season, but Pavel Zacha tucked home a power-play tally midway through the third period. Forsberg wraps up the campaign with a 15-12-0 record in 30 outings with a 3.21 GAA and .890 save percentage, his worst ratios since he became an NHL regular in 2017-18. He has one season left on his contract at an affordable $2.75 million, so Forsberg is likely to be back in Ottawa next season, even if only in a backup role.
