2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming out of the 2023-24 campaign, Forsberg may have thought he had a chance at unseating Joonas Korpisalo as the No. 1 netminder after Forsberg went 15-12-0 with a 3.21 GAA and two shutouts in 30 contests. Instead, the club traded for Linus Ullmark in the offseason. While Ullmark is used to playing in a duo while he was with the Bruins, that isn't expected to be the case in Ottawa. As such, Forsberg will be hard-pressed to reach the 30-game mark this year, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests, barring an injury to Ullmark. Read Past Outlooks

Suffers another defeat

December 9, 2024
Forsberg gave up three goals and stopped nine shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 51 seconds left in the third period.
ANALYSIS
Forsberg made his first start since a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Nov. 30, and he had another subpar performance. He has posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in his last five appearances, going 1-4-0 with a 3.26 GAA and an .862 save percentage in that span.

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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Occupying starter's crease
GOttawa Senators
October 17, 2024
Forsberg was in the starter's crease during Thursday's morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod for the Senators' home game against New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Forsberg drew his first start of the season Monday against the Kings and allowed three goals on nine shots before getting the hook early in the second period following a collision. He appeared to be fine after exiting the ice and will likely draw a second consecutive start Thursday. Even if Forsberg starts Thursday, Linus Ullmark, who has been dealing with a muscle strain, was on the ice during the team's morning skate and could return to game action soon, which would presumably cut into Forsberg's playing time.
