Filip Forsberg News

Forsberg was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1st, but is now signed through the 2021-22 season. Forsberg just wrapped up his second full NHL season with the Predators, where he recorded his first 30-goal season (33) with 31 assists to give him 64 points in 82 games. He has not missed a game in the last two years, finishing with nearly identical 63 and 64-point campaigns.

Forsberg has 8 goals and 20 points in 16 games this season.

Forsberg scored his first goal of the season last night and has now recorded at least one point in the first three games of the season. He has one goal and three assists so far and should only continue to produce on the Predators top line with Ribeiro and Neal, who could use a jump-start (1G between the two of them). Forsberg is only owned in 19% of Yahoo! leagues and is definitely worth taking a look at in 12-team leagues.

Forsberg has five points (1G / 4A) in 12 games with the Predators this season. While in Milwaukee he has 10 goals and 17 assists (27 points) in 36 games. He is expected to skate on a line with Colton Sissons and Richard Clune tonight in Chicago.

Forsberg was named MVP, Best Forward and a media all-star at the 2014 World Junior Championships, helping the host nation to a silver medal, his third time placing at the tournament. He has posted five points (1G / 4A) in 12 games with Nashville, and eight points (3G / 5A) in seven games with Milwaukee (AHL).

Forsberg had been loaned to team Sweden for the World Junior Championships, where he scored four goals and added eight helpers (12 points) in seven games, earning MVP honours. With Patric Hornqvist potentially out tonight, Forsberg would likely slide right back into the Predators lineup. He has one goal and four assists with a minus-8 rating in 12 games.

Head coach Barry Trotz the team would allow him to play in the tournament, provided he’s cleared to return to action. “Only injury can stop him now,” Peter Forsberg, the team’s Vice President, told the Swedish media. The Ostervala, Sweden native has participated in the last two World Junior tournaments and served as his team’s captain last year.

Forsberg will miss his eighth straight game with an upper-body injury. His placement on IR allowed the Predators to recall Joe Piskula from Milwaukee with Shea Weber and Kevin Klein out tonight.

Forsberg will miss his sixth straight game when the Predators are in Columbus on Wednesday. Forsberg has one goal and four assists with a minus-8 rating this season. Still I think the Preds are happy they acquired him, with Martin Erat now demanding a trade in Washington.

Forsberg should not be owned in any yearly fantasy leagues.

Forsberg posted six points (1G / 5A) during a four-game stint with Milwaukee, reaching the scoresheet in each game. He started the season with Nashville, amassing five points (1G / 4A) in 11 games, including an assist in his most recent contest, a 6-4 victory over Colorado on November 6. The Predators have posted an 8-2-1 record with the Swede in the lineup in 2013-14.

Forsberg has struggled in his first full season with the Predators. The 19-year-old has one one goal and four assists with a minus-8 rating in 11 games. He has seen his ice time diminish in recent games, so he will head to the AHL where he will see plenty of ice time. Taylor Beck has been recalled with Forsberg going down.

Forsberg has seen his TOI drop during the last four games, and tonight he will be a healthy scratch. The 19-year-old has one goal, three assists and minus-7 rating through nine games.

The 19-year-old sat out the first two games of the season with a lower body injury. He had one assist in five games with the Predators after coming over from the Capitals last season. He will start on a line with David Legwand and Eric Nystrom.

Forsberg unlikely to play in the Predators first two games. Still day-to-day.

While Forsberg was on the ice with the rest of his teammates, he was not featured on any line. He was an extra in practice which suggests he will sit vs. the Blues tomorrow. He is not expected to miss an extended period of time and could be back by Friday.

Forsberg was expected to be ready for the season opener, but that is not a for sure thing anymore. Consider him questionable and monitor his status prior to Thursday's opener.
