Anton Forsberg News

The Winnipeg Jets have claimed Anton Forsberg off of waivers from the Hurricanes.

Forsberg was originally claimed off of waivers by the Hurricanes as insurance before they waived Alex Nedeljkovic but with Nedeljkovic clearing, they no longer needed Forsberg. Winnipeg lost Eric Comrie on waivers last week, so Forsberg fills their No.3 goalie hole.

The Hurricanes have claimed Anton Forsberg from the Oilers.

The Hurricanes put Alex Nedeljkovic on waivers on Tuesday, so they claimed Forsberg in case they lose Nedeljkovic tomorrow. Forsberg was with the Hurricanes last year, going 1-1-0 while allowing eight goals on 78 shots (.897 SV%) in three games. He signed with the Oilers this offseason but was waived Monday.

The Oilers have signed Anton Forsberg to a one-year deal.

Forsberg signs with the Oilers to provide organizational depth at the position. The 27-year-old will likely be the starter in Bakersfield (AHL) after going 15-9-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .905 SV% in 27 games with the Charlotte Checkers a season ago.
