Senators' Anton Forsberg: Drops OT decision to Chicago
Rotowire
Forsberg saved 12 of 16 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
While he kept Chicago off the scoresheet for the rest of regulation after the 2:24 mark in the second period, the Ottawa netminder allowed the game-winning tally 48 seconds into overtime. The 32-year-old Forsberg will probably wrap up the regular season with an 11-12-3 record, a 3.72 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 30 appearances. Even though Forsberg ended with a tough performance, he improved his GAA and save percentage by a sizable margin in 2024-25 from his previous campaign.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Gets starting nod Tuesday
Rotowire
Forsberg will be between the pipes at home against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Forsberg has gone 2-1-0 in his last three outings while posting a 2.64 GAA. While the 32-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload of late with Linus Ullmark, Forsberg figures to be a permanent fixture at the end of the bench once the postseason starts. As such, Forsberg could be making his final appearance of the 2024-25 campaign.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Starting Sunday
Rotowire

Forsberg will look to bounce back from a rough showing against the Blue Jackets in his last start, during which he allowed five goals on 35 shots in a loss. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder is 10-12-2 with a .904 save percentage and 2.66 GAA this season.
Senators' Anton Forsberg: Rough night against Jackets
Rotowire
Forsberg made 30 saves in a 5-2 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
It was a rough outing for Forsberg, who had gone 1-1-1 with only five goals allowed in his last four appearances. He's 10-12-2 in 28 starts this season, and he could see a few more outings before season's end. The Sens have secured a playoff berth, and they may give Linus Ullmark some rest. Forsberg could deliver a late-season fantasy boost if he can get some offensive support.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Shuts out Florida
Rotowire
Forsberg posted a 40-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.
Forsberg earned his third shutout of the campaign Saturday and his first win since March 11 versus the Flyers. The 32-year-old is just 10-11-2 on the season, but he's registered a .907 save percentage and a 2.57 GAA over 27 appearances as the No. 2 netminder behind Linus Ullmark. Sunday's game against Columbus is the last back-to-back set on Ottawa's schedule, and considering Ullmark will more than likely tend the twine in that matchup, there's a scenario in which the club does not roll out Forsberg until a playoff spot is guaranteed.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Takes narrow loss
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 34 of 35 shots in Sunday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Forsberg was superb, but the Senators didn't have an answer for Tristan Jarry in the contest. Sidney Crosby scored the only goal of the game at 1:16 of overtime to send Forsberg to an undeserved loss. The 32-year-old netminder has just one win in his last five outings (three starts), allowing seven goals on 111 shots in that span. For the season, he's at a 9-11-2 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 26 appearances. The Senators will likely turn back to Linus Ullmark for Tuesday's home game versus the Sabres, but it's a four-game week for Ottawa, so Forsberg likely will start once during next weekend's back-to-back versus the Panthers and the Blue Jackets.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Stuck with loss Tuesday
Rotowire
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: 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.

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.
