Forsberg was left to carry the Senators the rest of the game with Utah pressing, trying to salvage a lost period. The Swedish netminder shut the door. In a game in which the Senators scored four goals, and at a time when many fans were already worried about their team’s goaltending, Forsberg was their best player.

After Linus Ullmark was ruled out again yesterday morning, Forsberg held the fort nicely with his sixth career shutout.
