The Winnipeg Jets have claimed Anton Forsberg off of waivers from the Hurricanes.

Forsberg was originally claimed off of waivers by the Hurricanes as insurance before they waived Alex Nedeljkovic but with Nedeljkovic clearing, they no longer needed Forsberg. Winnipeg lost Eric Comrie on waivers last week, so Forsberg fills their No.3 goalie hole.

The Hurricanes have claimed Anton Forsberg from the Oilers.

The Hurricanes put Alex Nedeljkovic on waivers on Tuesday, so they claimed Forsberg in case they lose Nedeljkovic tomorrow. Forsberg was with the Hurricanes last year, going 1-1-0 while allowing eight goals on 78 shots (.897 SV%) in three games. He signed with the Oilers this offseason but was waived Monday.

Forsberg led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

Forsberg was pulled after he gave up three goals on 20 shots in the Hurricanes overtime loss in Montreal last Saturday. With a back-to-back on-tap, Forsberg will face the Islanders on Saturday and Alex Nedeljkovic will likely start Sunday in Pittsburgh. He is 0-1-0 while giving up a combined six goals on 52 shots (.885 SV%) in his first two NHL starts of the season.
