Forsberg was in the starter's crease ahead of Tuesday's preseason matchup with Toronto at home, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod.
Forsberg figures to have the inside track on the backup job heading into the 2024-25 campaign, with Mads Sogaard a potential challenger. Even if Forsberg does win the No. 2 gig as expected, he is unlikely to see significant work this year behind Linus Ullmark. Fantasy managers can likely expect Forsberg to top out at around 30 games played, barring a long-term injury to Ullmark.
