2. Forsberg appears to be back and goaltending is off to a strong start in November
With a back-to-back on the schedule, Linus Ullmark got the start yesterday against the Rangers' elite offense and only allowed in two goals. That would mean Anton Forsberg would get the start tonight against the Kraken.
After recording a 31-save shutout on Oct. 22 against the Utah Hockey Club, Forsberg allowed in four goals in his next start last Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche with allowing in two goals in the third period after the Senators tied the game in the third period.
Concerns appeared to be rising again with Forsberg after his start against the Avalanche, but tonight he delivered a strong performance against the Kraken. Forsberg made 22 saves to earn his second shutout of the season.
Two games into November, the Senators' goaltending is off to an impressive strong start with Ullmark and Forsberg. The two goaltenders combined have allowed in two goals and have improved drastically in goal since the end of Senators' three-game West Coast road trip last Sunday.
