Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Ends goal drought Wednesday
Forsling scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Forsling's offense has started to come around with five points over his last eight games. His opening tally Wednesday was his first goal since Feb. 25 versus the Predators, a span of 15 games without a goal. The 28-year-old defenseman generates positive value in other ways, but he's no slouch on offense with 10 goals, 27 points, 179 shots on net, 75 hits, 85 blocked shots and a plus-31 rating over 75 appearances. He's reached the 10-goal mark in four straight seasons.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Deals helper in overtime win
Forsling notched an assist in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Utah.
Forsling has a helper in four of the last five contests, a big improvement on the eight-game point drought that preceded this stretch. The 28-year-old defenseman still isn't getting much power-play usage -- that's going to Seth Jones and Nate Schmidt in the absence of Aaron Ekblad (suspension). Still, Forsling has earned 26 points, 171 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 72 hits and a plus-31 rating across 72 appearances.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Snags assist in loss
Forsling recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
Forsling snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper on Sam Reinhart's opening goal early in the second period. The 28-year-old Forsling has started to see traces of power-play time while Aaron Ekblad (suspension) is out of the lineup until the third game of the playoffs. Forsling's offense hasn't followed his increased responsibilities. He's now at 23 points, 160 shots on net, 67 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-30 rating through 68 appearances, putting him on track for his worst offensive campaign in four years.

Forsling scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Forsling restored a two-goal lead for the Panthers with his tally just shy of midway through the third period. The 28-year-old has scored twice over his last three NHL games. The defenseman is up to nine goals, 22 points, 150 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-30 rating over 59 appearances. His offense is down compared to recent seasons, but he remains excellent in his own zone as a puck-moving blueliner who helps the Panthers' fast-paced offense get up the ice.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Moves past illness
Forsling (illness) was on the ice for Team Sweden's practice session Tuesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Forsling missed Monday's practice, but he skated on the second pairing with Rasmus Dahlin on Tuesday. Forsling's return to full strength will most likely push Rasmus Andersson out of the starting lineup.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Dealing with illness
Forsling (illness) missed Team Sweden's practice Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Forsling is expected to return to the ice for Tuesday's session ahead of Wednesday's 4 Nations Face-Off opener versus Team Canada. Sweden is deep down the left side, with Victor Hedman, Rasmus Dahlin and Mattias Ekholm, which could make Forsling a healthy scratch when the tournament begins. However, the 28-year-old Forsling could be a candidate to replace Jonas Brodin on the top pairing with Hedman.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Scoring pace lagging this season
Forsling scored a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over Ottawa.
Forsling lofted a shot inside the blue line that Linus Ullmark should have had for his first goal in 10 games. Forsling has eight tallies in 57 appearances this season (21 points). He will be lucky to hit the 30-point mark this season after averaging 39 over his previous three campaigns. If it's any consolation, Forsling is pounding pucks at the net and could hit the 200 mark. That may help some fantasy managers.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Pair of apples in win
Forsling dished out two assists, posted a plus-3 rating and had three shots on goal in Sunday's 6-3 win against the Islanders.
Forsling generated a rebound off Islanders goalie Jakub Skarek for the defenseman's first assist. The second helper came just before the end of the second period, when Forsling set up Sam Reinhart. On the season, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to 13 assists, 20 points, a plus-26 rating, 138 shots on net and 60 blocked shots in 54 appearances. His rating of plus-26 is tied for fifth-best in the league, proving Forsling's impact goes well beyond his offensive contributions. Forsling provides well-rounded category coverage for fantasy purposes.

Forsling has two goals and two helpers over nine outings in January. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to handle more responsibility while Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is out of the lineup. Forsling is at seven goals, 18 points, 123 shots on net, 43 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating through 47 appearances. Even once Ekblad is healthy, Forsling is likely to remain in a top-pairing role for his defensive performance.
