Forsberg stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round.
Forsberg didn't win a single game in the playoffs as the Avs 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 with a 0-4-0 record, 2.70 GAA and a .909 save percentage in four appearances.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: In goal for Game 3
Rotowire
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.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Comes up short again
Rotowire
Forsberg allowed two goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Forsberg has allowed just six goals on 87 shots over his last three outings, but he's gone winless in those games. The 33-year-old is still playing well enough to keep the Kings competitive, so it seems likely he'll get a chance to show what he can do on home ice in Game 3 on Thursday. Forsberg will need more than one goal of support per game, which is all the help he's received so far this postseason.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Game 2
Rotowire
Forsberg is expected to get the nod on the road against Colorado in Game 2 on Tuesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Forsberg allowed just two goals on 34 shots in a Game 1 loss. In his last eight appearances, the netminder has given up three or more goals just once, posting a combined 5-2-0 record and 1.49 GAA. Despite Forsberg's strong run of form, if he struggles, he could find himself replaced in the crease by Darcy Kuemper.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tough loss to Avs in Game 1
Rotowire
Forsberg made 28 saves on 30 shots Sunday during the Kings' 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1 of their first-round series.
The veteran netminder played well, but Los Angeles' offense couldn't solve Scott Wedgewood until there was less than three minutes left in the third period. Forsberg hasn't allowed more than three goals in an outing in over a month, posting a stellar 1.67 GAA and .940 save percentage over his last nine appearances as he seized the No. 1 job in the Kings' crease from Darcy Kuemper. Forsberg will likely be between the pipes again in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Earns Game 1 starting nod
Rotowire
Forsberg led the Kings out for warmups Sunday and will start Game 1 against the Avalanche, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg spent much of the season as Darcy Kuemper's backup, playing in just 36 games in the regular season, but Forsberg will get the nod in goal for Game 1. The 33-year-old Forsberg earned it with a fantastic month of April, going 5-1-0 with a 1.48 GAA and a .944 save percentage. On the flip side, Kuemper allowed 19 goals over his final four starts of his regular season. Forsberg will have his hands full with the Avalanche, who led the league with 3.63 goals per game in the regular season.

Rotowire
Copley was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.
Copley will probably serve as a depth option for the Kings in the playoffs behind Darcy Kuemper and Anton Forsberg. The 34-year-old Copley has earned a 21-11-1 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 33 AHL appearances this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Takes loss against Calgary
Rotowire
Forsberg allowed two goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Forsberg's five-game winning streak was snapped with this result. The loss ultimately didn't matter -- both Edmonton and Anaheim won Thursday, which would have prevented the Kings from moving out of the second wild-card spot. Forsberg concludes the regular season at 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 36 games. He played better than Darcy Kuemper down the stretch, but it remains to be seen which goalie gets the nod Sunday for Game 1 versus the Avalanche, a series in which the Kings will be heavy underdogs.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg is expected to start Monday's road matchup against Seattle, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Takes care of business Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 24 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Forsberg earned his third straight win with this performance. He's started three of the Kings' last five contests, and with momentum on his side, he might be trusted more than Darcy Kuemper to help the Kings' pursuit of a playoff spot. The 33-year-old Forsberg is at 14-11-5 with a 2.65 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 33 outings this season. The Kings have their last home game of the regular season Saturday when they face the Oilers before wrapping up the schedule with a trio of road games against non-playoff teams.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Earns win Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.
Forsberg is just two wins away from reaching 15 for the third time in his career, although he might fall short of accomplishing that goal since the Kings have only five regular-season games left. Forsberg is ending the campaign on a strong note, though. Over his last five outings, the 33-year-old veteran has posted a 2.51 GAA and a .912 save percentage despite a not-so-impressive 2-2-0 record.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Leaves ice first Monday
Rotowire
Forsberg was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll defend the cage at home versus the Predators.
While Forsberg has reached the 30-game mark for the third straight year, he'll likely once again fail to reach 15 wins for the third time in the last four seasons. Looking ahead to the Kings' schedule, the team ends the regular season with a back-to-back, which will likely be the last time Forsberg starts this year, barring an injury to starter Darcy Kuemper.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gets job done in overtime
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.
The Kings turned to Forsberg in the first half of a back-to-back, and he delivered a strong outing to get a critical win. This was the first time he allowed fewer than three goals in a start since Feb. 28 versus the Flames, which explains why Darcy Kuemper has seen the bulk of the work since the start of March. Forsberg improved to 12-11-5 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 31 contests this season. Kuemper will be between the pipes Thursday versus the Predators in another pivotal matchup, and if he struggles, it could open the door for Forsberg to see more time over the last two weeks of the season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Downs former team in OT
Rotowire
Forsberg made 28 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Facing the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2014-15, Forsberg wasn't at his sharpest, but he got just enough support to escape Columbus with a win. The veteran netminder has allowed four or more goals in four of seven outings since the beginning of February, going 2-3-1 with a 3.52 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gives up three goals
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 35 of 38 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.
Forsberg has been struggling of late, and while Monday's game was a tough test, he was still beaten three times, though his .921 save percentage suggests his performance wasn't all that bad. The Swedish netminder has racked up three losses in his last five outings, and that includes the 8-1 loss to the Oilers in which he allowed four goals in relief. Forsberg owns a 3.45 GAA and .894 save percentage in four appearances since the league resumed following the Olympics.

Forsberg is coming off his best performance of the season -- he posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over Calgary. Prior to that game, he had allowed at least four goals in three straight appearances, a stretch in which he went 0-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 68 shots (.809 save percentage). The 33-year-old will have his hands full Monday against the league's top team, as the Avalanche rank first in the NHL in both goals per game (3.79) and shots per game (34.2).

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Posts 29-save shutout
Rotowire
Forsberg posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Flames.
Forsberg earned a win for the first time since Jan. 27, when he stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Red Wings, and this was a much-needed outcome for the 33-year-old. Forsberg allowed four goals on 22 shots in an 8-1 loss to the Oilers the last time out and had suffered three defeats (one in overtime) in his previous three February appearances. He heads into March owning a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage since the beginning of January, so his performances have been better than his poor record indicates in that span.
