Senators' Anton Forsberg: Likely to miss time
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Receives no help in loss
Rotowire
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. The 31-year-old netminder has two shutouts on the year, but he's given up at least three goals in every other outing. 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.

He's 3-2-0 with a 2.65 GAA and a .910 save percentage over six appearances (five starts).

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Takes loss Sunday
Rotowire
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.

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.
