Forsberg will get the starting nod versus the Hurricanes on the road Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Forsberg is winless in his last five appearances, as he is sporting a 0-4-0 record and disastrous 5.18 GAA. With a back-to-back on the schedule, the club has little choice but to roll with Forsberg versus a Canes squad that is scoring 3.19 goals per game, unless the Senators want to bring back Matt Murray from the minors.
