Forsling played 21:15 TOI in his season debut on Sunday but the Panthers want to get a couple of new bodies in the lineup for the second game of the season, so Riley Stillman will replace him on Tuesday.
Forsling is familiar with new Panthers bench boss Joel Quenneville from their days together in Chicago. Forsling has had a tough time becoming a full-time player in the NHL, never playing more than 43 games in a single-season (2019). He has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 122 career NHL games and will likely continue to serve a similar, fringe roster player role in Florida.
Forsling had 26 points (8G / 16A) in 57 games with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) during his first season in the Hurricanes' organization. He was acquired from the Blackhawks in the summer of 2019 in a deal that sent Calvin de Haan and Aleksi Saarela to Chicago. Given the fact that Carolina has such a deep blueline and Jake Bean is ahead of him on the AHL depth chart, Forsling likely won't be in the NHL in 2021.
Forsling had three goals and six assists (nine points) in 43 games with the Blackhawks last year and had a few games in the AHL. The 23-year-old blueliner was traded to Carolina this offseason and will likely be on their third-pairing to start 2020. If he plays a full season in the NHL, Forsling has 20-plus point upside with the Hurricanes.
Forsig had three goals and six assists (nine points) in 43 games with Chicago last season. He has appeared in at least 38 games in each of his first three NHL seasons, tallying a total of 27 points (8G / 19A) in 122 career games. Forsling is still a pending RFA but will likely get a contract to be the Hurricanes No.5/6 defenseman in 2020.
Forsling has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Carl Dahlstrom on Monday. Forsling has registered two goals and five assists (seven points) in 23 games this season.
Forsling was in the lineup on Tuesday but will be a healthy scratch for the third time in five games. Slater Koekkoek will replace him on Thursday.
Forsling was a healthy scratch in Edmonton on Tuesday but will replace Carl Dahlstrom on Thursday. Forsling has one assist in two games while averaging 16:26 TOI/gm since returning from injury.
Forsling has missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Friday. The Blackhawks have assigned Henri Jokiharju to clear a roster spot for Forsling. He has two goals and four assists (six points) in 19 games this season.
Forsling missed the previous two games and was moved to IR prior to Wednesday’s game vs. the Predators. The Blackhawks have quality blue line depth so this injury won’t cripple them.
Forsling has missed the last six games with a shoulder injury but is expected to play on Tuesday. Forsling will replace Henri Jokiharju on the blueline after Jokiharju was loaned to Finland for the World Juniors. Forsling has one goal and four assists (five points) in 11 games this season.
Forsling was scratched from the lineup with a shoulder injury on Thursday and as placed on IR on Saturday. Forsling will miss at least one week and was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Connor Murphy to be activated.
Forsling was recalled from Rockford (AHL) on Tuesday and will play in his 80th career NHL game tonight vs. the Blues. Forsling, who had two assists in five AHL games before he was called up, had 13 points (3G / 10A) in 41 games with the Blackhawks last season.
Saad has missed the last two games with a right arm injury, but will draw back in tonight vs. the Blues. Saad, who has eight points (4G / 4A) in 16 games this season, will skate on a line with Artem Anisimov and John Hayden.
Forsling missed the start of the regular season with an injury, but has picked up two assists in five games with Rockford since being sent down. With Brandon Davidson banged up, Forsling could draw into the lineup on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has 18 points (5G / 13A) in 79 career NHL games.
Forsling will miss his his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday in Colorado. With Forsling out, Cody Franson and Connor Murphy will both remain in the lineup.
