Kings' Anton Forsberg: Stops 28 shots in narrow defeat
Forsberg stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
Forsberg couldn't prevent Tage Thompson's go-ahead power-play goal midway through the third period. The veteran netminder kept Los Angeles competitive after Buffalo controlled much of the early action, though the Kings ultimately suffered their fourth loss in five home games. Forsberg's fantasy value remains in the lower tiers, as inconsistent team results limit his reliability as a starting option. The fact that he's started in just six of the Kings' 13 games this season limits his upside as well and makes Forsberg a matchup-based alternative and not much else.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated starter Saturday
Forsberg is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Forsberg has gone 0-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and a .902 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Kings have been limited to just a single goal in each of his past four outings. Buffalo is 6-4-3 and has averaged 3.08 goals per game this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Falls short in narrow loss
Forsberg stopped 25 of 27 shots on net in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Forsberg had another solid effort come up short in Tuesday's clash, as the Blackhawks scored one goal in each of the final two periods to complete the comeback. With Tuesday's loss, the 33-year-old netminder now has an 0-3-1 record, a 2.39 GAA and a .902 save percentage across five outings this season. While the veteran's stats are comparable to many high-level netminders across the league, he hasn't been able to close out a game yet this season, which delivers a massive blow to his fantasy stock. However, his offense has left him out to dry in each of his last three outings. If the offense can perform well in front of Forsberg in the near future, he should return to the fantasy radar in standard formats.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Starting in Chicago
Forsberg will defend the road net against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Forsberg will get the second half of the Kings' back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper played in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. The 33-year-old Forsberg has stopped 76 of 85 shots in four appearances during his 0-2-1 start to the 2026-27 campaign. Chicago (3-8-0) ranks 31st in the league with 2.18 goals per game this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Doing his part but needs help
Forsberg made 23 saves Saturday in a 3-1 loss to New Jersey. He allowed two goals.
The game was tight until the Devils broke a 1-1 tie at 8:08 of the third period when defender Brett Pesce surprisingly got the game-winner. The Kings mustered just 13 shots and were outshot 14-3 in the second period. It was the fifth time in the past seven games that Los Angeles scored only one goal. Whoever is in net for the Kings will need better offensive support from their teammates to get wins.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to face Devils
Forsberg will guard the road goal against New Jersey on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Forsberg has allowed seven goals on 60 shots in his winless start over three outings (0-1-1) this campaign. New Jersey (6-4-0) ranks 12th in the league in the 2026-27 season with 3.30 goals per game.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Falls short against Bruins
Forsberg stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Forsberg put in a decent effort, but the Kings didn't give him enough help. He's now allowed seven goals on 60 shots over three appearances (two starts) this season. The light schedule hasn't helped the Kings get on track -- they've had at least two days off between each game so far. That will change as they head on the road for five games over eight games, beginning against the Capitals on Tuesday. With a back-to-back to close out the trip, Forsberg should get at least one start and likely two during the trip if Darcy Kuemper continues to struggle.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Defending crease Saturday
Forsberg will protect the home net against Boston on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
During his first start of 2026-27, Forsberg allowed five goals on 25 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose on Oct. 3. He made nine saves on nine shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton. Boston (6-2-0) ranks seventh in the league this season with 3.75 goals per game.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Perfect in relief outing
Forsberg stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
The only goal Edmonton scored over the final two periods was an empty-netter. Forsberg obviously didn't face a lot of traffic, but he took care of what came his way, which is better than he did in his Oct. 3 start against the Sharks. He's given up five goals on 34 shots over two outings this season. With the Kings starting the year 0-3-2, the starting job in goal is up for grabs. Their next game is at home versus the Bruins on Saturday.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Not good in overtime loss
Forsberg allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Forsberg got the nod for the second game of the season after Darcy Kuemper was in net for Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Avalanche. While this wasn't as tough of a matchup, Forsberg didn't help his cause for more playing time with a shaky performance. The 33-year-old netminder could ultimately settle into a platoon if neither of the Kings' goalies can get on a roll. Los Angeles hosts the Panthers on Tuesday, which isn't exactly a favorable matchup even when Aleksander Barkov (knee) is out.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Making first start of 2026-27
Forsberg will defend the road crease in Saturday's clash against the Sharks, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Forsberg is set to make his first start of the 2026-27 campaign after Darcy Kuemper was given the starting nod in the Kings' opener. The 33-year-old Forsberg posted solid numbers in 2025-26, where he compiled a 16-12-5 record, a 2.57 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 36 regular-season outings. If he continues to be one of the league's most effective backups to begin the new season, he could push Kuemper for playing time as the campaign progresses. He'll face off against a young Sharks offense Saturday, making him a solid streaming option in fantasy.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Effective in preseason start
Forsberg allowed a goal on 25 shots during Wednesday's 2-1 preseason win over Anaheim.
Forsberg allowed three goals on 16 shots during his preseason debut against the Golden Knights, but he was much more effective Wednesday. He gave up the first goal of the game in the opening frame, but the Kings responded with a pair of goals later in the period en route to the victory. Forsberg will likely begin the 2026-27 season as the Kings' backup netminder but could see increased opportunities if Darcy Kuemper struggles.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated starter Wednesday
Forsberg is slated to start on the road against Anaheim for Wednesday's preseason tilt, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.
Forsberg had a 16-12-5 record, 2.57 GAA and .909 save percentage in 36 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles in 2025-26. Although Forsberg is set to open the 2026-27 campaign as the Kings' backup goaltender, he could expand his role if Darcy Kuemper doesn't rebound following a rough 2025-26 campaign. Still, Forsberg is expected to see a significantly larger share of the workload than a typical No. 2 goaltender.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Allows three goals against Vegas
Forsberg turned aside 13 of 16 shots during Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg played the full game in Saturday's preseason opener, but he didn't have his sharpest performance. The 33-year-old went 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 36 regular-season outings for Los Angeles in 2025-26. He'll likely split time with Darcy Kuemper at the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start preseason opener
Forsberg is expected to start Saturday's preseason contest against the Golden Knights.
Forsberg is expected to see a larger workload for the Kings after appearing in all four of the team's 2026 postseason games. The 33-year-old backstop was efficient in 2025-26 with a 16-12-5 record, a 2.57 GAA, a .909 save percentage and three shutouts across 36 regular-season outings. He's set to serve in tandem with Darcy Kuemper for the second straight campaign, but the workload could vary month-by-month if either netminder runs into trouble. However, Forsberg's anticipated start Saturday will give him the advantage to showcase his skills first this preseason against the runners-up for the 2025-26 Stanley Cup.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Could push for larger workload this year
Forsberg is a candidate to see increased playing time during the 2026-27 season if he can maintain his level of production from last year, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday.
Forsberg performed well during his first year in Los Angeles during the 2025-26 campaign, going 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and .909 save percentage across 36 regular-season appearances. He saw an uptick in work late in the season and ultimately started in all four of the Kings' first-round playoff matchups against the Avalanche. Although Los Angeles was swept in that first-round series, Forsberg made a strong impression during a year in which teammate Darcy Kuemper displayed some inconsistency down the stretch. The two netminders will presumably compete for playing time during training camp this year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some sort of timeshare take place early in the regular season. However, one of them could emerge with the bulk of the starts if they can put together some early-season momentum.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Ends playoff run winless
Forsberg stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg didn't win a single game in the playoffs as Colorado swept the Kings, and even though the outcome of the series wasn't Forsberg's fault, it's worth noting he posted a save percentage under .880 in his last two starts. Forsberg ends the playoff run having allowed 11 goals on 121 shots (.909 save percentage) over four games in another first-round exit for the Kings.

Forsberg will protect the home net against Colorado on Sunday in Game 4, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg is still seeking his first NHL postseason win. During the opening round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he has gone 0-3 versus the Avalanche despite allowing only seven goals on 90 shots.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: In goal for Game 3
Forsberg will guard the home goal in Game 3 versus the Avalanche on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg has held the Avalanche to four goals on 68 shots (.941 save percentage) over the first two games of this postseason, but he doesn't have a win to show for his efforts. He'll try to maintain his strong play as the series shifts to Los Angeles for this game and the next one. As long as Forsberg maintains his strong play, he should continue to get the starts in goal.
