31-Year-Old GoalieG
Ottawa Senators
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Forsberg had a promising 2021-22 campaign, finishing with a 22-17-4 record, a 2.82 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 46 games, but struggled last season, posting an 11-11-2 record, a 3.26 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 28 contests. To make matters worse, the 30-year-old goaltender couldn't play past Feb. 11 because he tore his MCL in both knees. The silver lining is that he should be ready for training camp, but it still might be too much to hope for him to return to his 2021-22 form. That season was an outlier compared to his career overall, and Forsberg will likely open the campaign as Ottawa's backup goaltender after the Senators made a five-year, $20 million commitment to Joonas Korpisalo. It's safer to project Forsberg to finish the campaign with 10-15 wins, with a GAA around 3.00 and a save percentage of roughly .905. Read Past Outlooks

Sharp in win No. 15
GOttawa Senators
April 17, 2024
Forsberg made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Occupies starter's crease
GOttawa Senators
April 6, 2024
Forsberg manned the starter's crease at the morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, putting him in line to get the home start versus New Jersey on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Forsberg picked up a shutout in his last start, stopping 19 shots in a 2-0 win over Chicago on March 28. He stopped 12 of 14 shots in relief of Joonas Korpisalo on Thursday in a 6-0 loss to Florida. Overall, Forsberg is 13-12-0 with a 3.28 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 27 games.

The Senators had a lousy record in 2021-22, but several of their players outperformed expectations, Forsberg included. Appearing in a career-high 46 games, the Swede posted a 22-17-4 record, a 2.82 GAA and a .917 save percentage, all perfectly respectable totals considering Ottawa's defensive struggles. The Senators added reinforcements this offseason and likely would have been fine had they decided to run Forsberg back out there as their unquestioned starter, but the team acquired Cam Talbot from Minnesota in July, essentially ensuring Forsberg will return to a timeshare at best in 2022-23. It's a tough break for a guy who played well last year and one that will almost certainly hurt Forsberg's fantasy value.
The Senators went through goaltenders like water this past season, with Forsberg ultimately seeing eight games worth of action. Forsberg's performance (3-4-1, 3,21 GAA, .909 save percentage) didn't inspire confidence, which isn't surprising considering he was playing for his third organization in the past three years. Matt Murray (and his bloated contract) is going to open the 2021-22 season as Ottawa's starting goalie, but Forsberg, scheduled to be the backup, could most certainly earn a significant amount of playing time given how poorly Murray played last season. There almost certainly won't be any fantasy value here regardless of the outcome.
With Corey Crawford (upper body) sidelined for much of the season, Forsberg was thrust into a starting role with the Blackhawks in 2017-18, compiling a 10-16-4 record along with an ugly 2.97 GAA and .908 save percentage through 35 appearances. This offseason, the team brought in Cam Ward on a one-year, $3 million contract to back up Crawford in 2018-19, which means Forsberg will undoubtedly be the odd-man out once the regular season gets underway. The 2011 seventh-round pick is destined to spend much of the upcoming campaign in the minors, so he can safely be ignored in all fantasy formats.
Forsberg spent almost the entire season with AHL Cleveland last year, posting excellent numbers for the Monsters but not getting a real crack at the NHL as Sergei Bobrovsky absorbed a huge workload while earning his second Vezina Trophy. Traded to the Blackhawks in the offseason as part of the Artemi Panarin deal, the 24-year-old is expected to back up Corey Crawford in Chicago, although the team also signed Jean-Francois Berube to compete for the job. Assuming Forsberg secures the spot, though, his strong minor-league track record suggests he'll be a useful option on nights when Crawford is getting a rest.
The 21-year-old goaltender wasn't considered a top prospect heading into last season, but after an impressive performance in Sweden and a dynamic four-game run with Springfield in the AHL, Forsberg has opened some eyes. He'll be the top dog in Springfield to begin the season, but will need to hold off Oscar Dansk to keep his spot on the depth chart.
Goaltending prospect Forsberg put together a strong season in the Swedish second division, but is still a long way from the NHL.
Forsberg, a Swedish goalie prospect, has nice size but many rough edges to smooth out before he'll be ready for North American hockey. He recorded an .897 save percentage and a 3.15 goals-against average in 15 games for Modo of the Swedish Elite League last year.
