Forsberg will protect the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Red Wings, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Forsberg is set to start for the third time this preseason. The 31-year-old has allowed five goals on 45 shots over his first two appearances. He'll begin 2024-25 as the backup to Linus Ullmark, so Forsberg shouldn't be expected to see much more than 25 games this year under ideal circumstances.
