Forsberg stopped 28 of 31 shots in the Blackhawks loss in Nashville on Tuesday. With Corey Crawford getting hurt on Thursday the Blackhawks will turn to Forsberg as their No.1 option starting tonight. He has posted a 3.67 GAA and .904 SV% in seven appearances this season but is coming off of one of his better games, so he will look to build off of that in Dallas.
Forsberg allowed one goal on 13 shots after replacing Corey Crawford in the Blackhawks 7-5 loss to the Devils on November 12th.

Forsberg allowed five goals on 20 shots in the Blackhawks loss in Colorado on October 28th. Forsberg has struggled in his three starts this season, posting a 4.25 GAA and .895 SV% while going 0-1-2. He could be in tough against Hurricanes team that ranks as the top possession team in the NHL right now.
Forsberg allowed four goals on 43 shots in the Blackhawks’ loss in Toronto on October 9th. With Corey Crawford starting last night, Forsberg will make his second start of the season tonight vs. the Oilers. Edmonton is off to a terrible start to the season, but they still have Connor McDavid—making Forsberg a risky spot-start option.
Forsberg was acquired along with Brandon Saad in the trade that sent Artemi Panarin to the Blue Jackets this summer. Tonight will be his Blackhawks debut and he has had a hard time in his young NHL career. In 10 career appearances, Forsberg has a 4.02 GAA and .879 SV%, but was an impressive 27-17-2 with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV% in the AHL last year.

Forsberg was acquired from Columbus as a part of the Panarin-Saad trade last week and was a restricted free agent. The 24-year-old was 27-17-2 with a 2.28 GAA, .926 SV% and four shutouts in 51 games with Cleveland (AHL) last season. With Scott Darling now in Carolina, Forsberg is expected to be Corey Crawford’s backup this season. However, the Swedish netminder has an ugly 4.02 GAA and .879 SV% in just 10 career NHL games.
Sergei Bobrovsky is sick and Curtis McElhinney is now a Maple Leaf, so Forsberg will make his season debut tonight in Carolina. The 24-year-old played very well during his time in Cleveland, going 12-6-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .930 SV% in 21 games. He is 1-7-0 with a 4.01 GAA and .882 SV% in his NHL career.
