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.
