Kings' Anton Forsberg: Rough showing in shootout win
Forsberg stopped 30 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
The Kings' defense wasn't up to par when the Golden Knights' top players were on the ice. Forsberg did what he could, and he got enough support to guide the game to a shootout, where he stopped two of three attempts to claim the win. The 32-year-old netminder should continue to fill the backup role, though it's not clear when he'll get his next start, as the Kings don't have another back-to-back in the next week.

How did Anton Forsberg do in his Kings debut?
Goaltender Anton Forsberg was part of the Ottawa Senators organization since the 2020-21 season. In the 2021-22 season, Forsberg had a career year and was destined to be the goaltender of the future in Ottawa.
However, inconsistencies became an issue with Forsberg for the next three seasons. This past free agency, Forsberg was an unrestricted free agent, but didn't re-sign in Ottawa. Instead, Forsberg signed a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings.
Prior to the Senators making their 2025-26 season opener, the Kings had two games on the schedule. One of which included Forsberg making a start to officially make his Kings debut. Now, it's time to see how the former Senator did in his Kings debut.

Anton Forsberg News: Getting start in Vegas
Forsberg will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
Forsberg will get the second half of the Kings' back-to-back set to open the season. Darcy Kuemper was in net for a 4-1 loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. This outing will be Forsberg's official Kings debut after he signed with the team in free agency. Given that Los Angeles has two veteran goalies, expect Forsberg to start at least once in every back-to-back set as well as some additional times throughout the year to keep Kuemper fresh.
