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.
