Forsberg made 21 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
Making just his second start since the 4 Nations Face-Off, Forsberg played well as the two teams traded goals through the first two periods, but the Senators never found a response after Tage Thompson flicked home the winner early in the third. In six outings overall since the beginning of February, Forsberg has a 2.35 GAA and .910 save percentage, but his workload behind Linus Ullmark will likely remain light as long as Ottawa is still attempting to lock up a playoff spot.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Set to face Buffalo
Rotowire
Forsberg is expected to start on the road against Buffalo on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg has a 9-10-1 record, 2.74 GAA and .898 save percentage in 24 outings in 2024-25. He's been used sparingly in March, appearing in just two games despite stopping a solid 39 of 42 shots (.929 save percentage) over that stretch. Buffalo ranks 12th in goals per game with 3.10.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Needed in relief Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Linus Ullmark late in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
The one puck to get past Forsberg came on a Colorado power play, and in general, the 32-year-old looked much sharper than Ullmark on the night. The Senators have been leaning very heavily on Ullmark as they try to secure a playoff spot -- Forsberg has made only one start since the 4 Nations Face-Off, although he's been needed in relief twice during that stretch -- but they may have to split the workload a little more evenly over the final weeks. Over his last 10 appearances dating back to Jan. 19, Forsberg has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Defeats Flyers
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Jamie Drysdale and Rodrigo Abols each scored game-tying goals in the second period, but the Senators were able to support Forsberg and take the lead for good by the end of the frame. The 32-year-old netminder hadn't played since a Feb. 22 relief appearance versus the Canadiens. Forsberg is now at 9-10-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. Linus Ullmark will likely be back between the pipes to face his former team Thursday when the Senators host the Bruins.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Drawing start in Philadelphia
Rotowire
Forsberg will occupy the road crease Tuesday against the Flyers, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg will make his 23rd appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- the Swedish netminder holds an 8-10-1 record, .895 save percentage and 2.82 GAA across 22 outings. This will be Forsberg's first start since Feb. 6, though he made an appearance Feb. 22 in relief of Linus Ullmark, who has drawn the bulk of the starts lately while Ottawa attempts to make the postseason for the first time since 2016-17. Tuesday's game is the second half of a back-to-back for the Sens, while the Flyers last played Sunday in a 3-1 home loss to New Jersey.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Perfect in relief Saturday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Linus Ullmark in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
The Canadiens eased up after Forsberg entered the contest, and he held up well. The 32-year-old is 4-2-0 with 16 goals allowed on 195 shots over his last eight outings, good for a .918 save percentage in that span. For the season, he's 8-10-1 with a 2.82 GAA and an .895 save percentage, which are fine numbers for a backup. It's unclear when Forsberg might start again -- the Senators have no back-to-backs over the next week while alternating between strong and weak opponents across the next four games. Ullmark has struggled lately while Forsberg has been steady, which may influence head coach Travis Green's plans between the pipes in the near term.

He allowed four goals. The loss snapped Forsberg's personal three-game win streak. He's now 8-10-1 in 20 starts with a 2.89 GAA and .893 save percentage. You need the perfect moment and a dash of luck to put Forsberg in your daily lineup.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Set to start against Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Forsberg was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Lightning.
Forsberg and Linus Ullmark have alternated starts for nearly two weeks, and that trend will continue during the Senators' penultimate game before the league's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Forsberg has been productive over his last three starts, going 3-0-0 with a 2.32 GAA and .923 save percentage, but he'll face a tough test Thursday, as the Lightning are averaging 3.46 goals this season, which is the third-best mark in the NHL.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Nabs third straight win
Rotowire
Forsberg made 25 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
The veteran netminder continued a surge that began in mid-January while Linus Ullmark was sidelined by a back issue. Forsberg has won three straight starts, and over his last six outings, he's gone 4-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and a .923 save percentage. With about a month to go until the NHL trade deadline, Forsberg could be making himself a very enticing target for a contender looking for depth in the crease. He'll be a free agent in the offseason, and Leevi Merilainen's stellar play during Ullmark's absence would seem to make Forsberg expendable.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting in Nashville
Rotowire
Forsberg will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Forsberg has won his last two outings, stopping 59 of 64 shots. He has a 7-9-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.87 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Nashville sits 30th in the league with 2.61 goals per game in 2024-25. Linus Ullmark (back) will occupy the backup role and could start Tuesday's road matchup versus Tampa Bay after missing the last 18 games.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Back in win column
Rotowire
Forsberg turned aside 31 of 35 shots faced during Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.
Forsberg withstood a late comeback by the Capitals to force the overtime frame and held on long enough for Thomas Chabot to pot the game-winner. The 32-year-old has victories in three of his last four starts working in tandem with Leevi Merilainen while Linus Ullmark (back) remains on the injured list.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: First goalie off Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Washington.
Forsberg has been seeing the bulk of the workload for Ottawa of late, appearing in four of the last five contests in which he posted a 2-1-0 record, 1.70 GAA and .935 save percentage. Still, with Linus Ullmark (back) poised to return soon -- perhaps even serving as the No. 2 Thursday -- Forsberg will likely find himself sharing the crease, at best, if not fully relegated to the backup role.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Playing best hockey of season
Rotowire
Forsberg made 28 saves for the Senators in a 2-1 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
In his last three starts, Forsberg has allowed just three goals, one in each contest (2-1-0). And he's done it against the Devils, Bruins and Maple Leafs -- that's impressive. However, that excludes a relief appearance against the Rangers on Tuesday in which he allowed three goals on 13 shots. Forsberg has struggled to string great performances together. He went 3-1-0, including two shutouts, from Oct. 19-Nov. 2, but he also allowed eight goals in the other two contests. Perhaps Leevi Merilainen's strong play is pushing the Swede to up his game, and if that's the case, then Forsberg could end up providing sneaky fantasy value over the second half. However, it's not clear what will happen when Linus Ullmark (back) returns. Perhaps Forsberg will back Ullmark up while Merilainen will return to the minors. Alternatively, Forsberg might be a potential trade candidate to serve in a support role on a contender. Monitor closely, especially for daily formats.

Forsberg will patrol the home crease versus Toronto on Saturday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg has been strong in his last two starts, allowing two goals on 51 shots. He made a relief appearance between those contests, giving up three goals on 13 shots against the Rangers. Forsberg is 5-9-1 with two shutouts, a 2.92 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 17 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs sit 11th in the NHL with 3.12 goals per game this campaign.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Great effort wasted by mates
Rotowire
Forsberg made 24 saves in a 2-0 loss to Boston on Thursday.
He allowed one goal in a duel with former platoon-mate, Joonas Korpisalo. He was great, but the rest of the Sens didn't show up. Forsberg has allowed just one goal in each of his last two starts, but at the same time, he's just 1-5-1 with 23 goals allowed in his last seven starts (eight games). Forsberg is a tough fantasy activation.

Forsberg allowed three goals on 13 shots in relief of Leevi Merilainen in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Rangers. Forsberg won his last start with a 25-save performance against the Devils on Sunday.

Forsberg stopped 10 of 13 shots in relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Rangers.
Leevi Merilainen allowed two goals on 16 shots before he was replaced by Forsberg at the 4:59 mark of the second period. However, Forsberg didn't fare much better and allowed three more goals in what ended up being an easy win for the Rangers. Forsberg has won just once in his last five appearances, going 1-2-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .873 save percentage in that span.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Back in win column
Rotowire
Forsberg turned aside 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.
Forsberg was excellent Sunday in a tightly contested road victory, allowing fewer than three goals in a game for just the third time this season. This was his first win since Nov. 25, but he missed most of December with a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old has conceded 12 goals on 105 shots through four appearances in January, turning in a 1-2-1 record in that span. Overall, Forsberg is 5-8-1 with an .888 save percentage and a 2.95 GAA through 15 starts in 2024-25.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 17 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Sabres.
It was a rough night for Ottawa in all three zones and Forsberg was hung out to dry, with Buffalo's final tally deflecting in off Thomas Chabot's leg. The veteran netminder has gone 0-2-1 while starting three straight games since returning from a lower-body injury, giving up 11 goals on 79 shots (.861 save percentage). There's no timeline yet for Linus Ullmark (back) to rejoin the Sens, but Forsberg will likely begin ceding work back to Leevi Merilainen unless he can turn things around.
