Kings' Anton Forsberg: Effective in preseason start
Forsberg allowed a goal on 25 shots during Wednesday's 2-1 preseason win over Anaheim.
Forsberg allowed three goals on 16 shots during his preseason debut against the Golden Knights, but he was much more effective Wednesday. He gave up the first goal of the game in the opening frame, but the Kings responded with a pair of goals later in the period en route to the victory. Forsberg will likely begin the 2026-27 season as the Kings' backup netminder but could see increased opportunities if Darcy Kuemper struggles.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated starter Wednesday
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.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Allows three goals against Vegas
Forsberg turned aside 13 of 16 shots during Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg played the full game in Saturday's preseason opener, but he didn't have his sharpest performance. The 33-year-old went 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 36 regular-season outings for Los Angeles in 2025-26. He'll likely split time with Darcy Kuemper at the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start preseason opener
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.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Could push for larger workload this year
Forsberg is a candidate to see increased playing time during the 2026-27 season if he can maintain his level of production from last year, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday.
Forsberg performed well during his first year in Los Angeles during the 2025-26 campaign, going 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and .909 save percentage across 36 regular-season appearances. He saw an uptick in work late in the season and ultimately started in all four of the Kings' first-round playoff matchups against the Avalanche. Although Los Angeles was swept in that first-round series, Forsberg made a strong impression during a year in which teammate Darcy Kuemper displayed some inconsistency down the stretch. The two netminders will presumably compete for playing time during training camp this year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some sort of timeshare take place early in the regular season. However, one of them could emerge with the bulk of the starts if they can put together some early-season momentum.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Ends playoff run winless
Forsberg stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg didn't win a single game in the playoffs as Colorado swept the Kings, and even though the outcome of the series wasn't Forsberg's fault, it's worth noting he posted a save percentage under .880 in his last two starts. Forsberg ends the playoff run having allowed 11 goals on 121 shots (.909 save percentage) over four games in another first-round exit for the Kings.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Facing Avalanche in Game 4
Forsberg will protect the home net against Colorado on Sunday in Game 4, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg is still seeking his first NHL postseason win. During the opening round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he has gone 0-3 versus the Avalanche despite allowing only seven goals on 90 shots.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: In goal for Game 3
Forsberg will guard the home goal in Game 3 versus the Avalanche on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg has held the Avalanche to four goals on 68 shots (.941 save percentage) over the first two games of this postseason, but he doesn't have a win to show for his efforts. He'll try to maintain his strong play as the series shifts to Los Angeles for this game and the next one. As long as Forsberg maintains his strong play, he should continue to get the starts in goal.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Falters on home ice
Forsberg allowed three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg has allowed seven goals on 90 shots over three playoff contests, but he is 0-3, leaving the Kings on the brink of elimination. The 33-year-old was always going to have a tough time taking on the top team in the league, but he's put in a good effort to keep games competitive in the first round. Game 4 is set for Sunday in Los Angeles.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Comes up short again
Forsberg allowed two goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Forsberg has allowed just six goals on 87 shots over his last three outings, but he's gone winless in those games. The 33-year-old is still playing well enough to keep the Kings competitive, so it seems likely he'll get a chance to show what he can do on home ice in Game 3 on Thursday. Forsberg will need more than one goal of support per game, which is all the help he's received so far this postseason.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Game 2
Forsberg is expected to get the nod on the road against Colorado in Game 2 on Tuesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Forsberg allowed just two goals on 34 shots in a Game 1 loss. In his last eight appearances, the netminder has given up three or more goals just once, posting a combined 5-2-0 record and 1.49 GAA. Despite Forsberg's strong run of form, if he struggles, he could find himself replaced in the crease by Darcy Kuemper.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tough loss to Avs in Game 1
Forsberg made 28 saves on 30 shots Sunday during the Kings' 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1 of their first-round series.
The veteran netminder played well, but Los Angeles' offense couldn't solve Scott Wedgewood until there was less than three minutes left in the third period. Forsberg hasn't allowed more than three goals in an outing in over a month, posting a stellar 1.67 GAA and .940 save percentage over his last nine appearances as he seized the No. 1 job in the Kings' crease from Darcy Kuemper. Forsberg will likely be between the pipes again in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Earns Game 1 starting nod
Forsberg led the Kings out for warmups Sunday and will start Game 1 against the Avalanche, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg spent much of the season as Darcy Kuemper's backup, playing in just 36 games in the regular season, but Forsberg will get the nod in goal for Game 1. The 33-year-old Forsberg earned it with a fantastic month of April, going 5-1-0 with a 1.48 GAA and a .944 save percentage. On the flip side, Kuemper allowed 19 goals over his final four starts of his regular season. Forsberg will have his hands full with the Avalanche, who led the league with 3.63 goals per game in the regular season.

Kings' Pheonix Copley: Summoned from AHL
Copley was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.
Copley will probably serve as a depth option for the Kings in the playoffs behind Darcy Kuemper and Anton Forsberg. The 34-year-old Copley has earned a 21-11-1 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 33 AHL appearances this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Takes loss against Calgary
Forsberg allowed two goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Forsberg's five-game winning streak was snapped with this result. The loss ultimately didn't matter -- both Edmonton and Anaheim won Thursday, which would have prevented the Kings from moving out of the second wild-card spot. Forsberg concludes the regular season at 16-12-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 36 games. He played better than Darcy Kuemper down the stretch, but it remains to be seen which goalie gets the nod Sunday for Game 1 versus the Avalanche, a series in which the Kings will be heavy underdogs.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Guarding cage versus Flames
Forsberg will be in goal on the road against Calgary on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg is riding a five-game winning streak during which he recorded a 1.37 GAA and one shutout. The 33-year-old's run of form could see him get the Game 1 start if he puts together another strong outing versus the Flames. If Forsberg does get the nod, he will likely be on a short leash with Darcy Kuemper waiting in the wings.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Keeps winning streak alive
Forsberg stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Forsberg has won each of his last five starts, and aside from helping the Kings clinch a playoff berth with this win, he's also proving to be an excellent fantasy asset across all formats. Over the course of his winning run, Forsberg has posted a 1.37 GAA and an elite .949 save percentage, so he should enter the postseason on a scorching-hot run of play. The Kings have two games left before the end of the regular season, as they'll face the Canucks on Tuesday and the Flames on Thursday. It remains to be seen if Forsberg will start either of those contests with the team's playoff berth already established.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Slated to start Monday
Forsberg is expected to start Monday's road matchup against Seattle, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg has allowed only four goals on 107 shots during his four-game winning streak. He has a 15-11-5 record during the 2025-26 campaign with three shutouts, a 2.57 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 34 appearances. Seattle ranks 27th in the league with 2.78 goals per game this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Shuts down Oilers in impressive win
Forsberg made 27 saves in a 1-0 win over the Oilers on Saturday.
It was his third shutout of the season. Forsberg is 4-0-0 with a GAA of 0.97 and a .963 save percentage in his past four starts, and he has the Kings one point ahead of the Predators for the second wild card in the Western Conference. Expect the Kings to keep Forsberg in their blue paint as much as reasonably possible based on this recent success. The team has three games left.
