Forsberg will start in Calgary on Thursday.

With the Kings still battling for playoff positioning in their final game of the season, they will turn to Anton Forsberg, who has been their go-to option between the pipes in recent weeks. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken. Forsberg elevated his game in April to help his team clinch a playoff berth, posting an excellent 1.37 GAA and .950 SV% in five games (5-0-0). The Kings enter Thursday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Calgary Flames team that has been limited to just one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0).

Forsberg will start in Seattle on Monday.

Forsberg has emerged as the Kings' No.1 netminder at a crucial time of year, and comes into Monday's game having won four in a row and stopping 103 of 107 (.963 SV%) shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced. He was sensational in the Kings' previous game, saving all 27 shots he faced for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings hope to inch closer to a playoff berth on Monday, entering the action as -159 road favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that has followed up a six-game losing streak by winning two straight.

Forsberg will start against the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Darcy Kuemper didn't see any playing time while representing Team Canada during their Silver Medal performance at the Olympics, but will still get some extra rest after several busy travel days, allowing Forsberg to tend the twine on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 33-year-old Forsberg allowed four goals on 22 shots (.818 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Kings' final game before the Olympic break, but had been very impressive in the weeks leading up to that loss, helping his team record a point in five straight (3-0-2) while posting a solid 2.07 GAA and .933 SV%. The Kings enter Wednesday's contest as -141 home favourites.
