Forsberg will guard the road goal against the Penguins on Sunday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forsberg will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Linus Ullmark played in Saturday's 3-2 win over Columbus. The 32-year-old Forsberg has a 9-11-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 25 appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied with the Senators for 18th in the league with 2.92 goals per game in 2024-25.

Forsberg made 21 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg is expected to start on the road against Buffalo on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Linus Ullmark late in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg will occupy the road crease Tuesday against the Flyers, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Linus Ullmark in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg made 26 saves in a 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Forsberg made 25 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
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.
