\u0022It\u0027s been a long road and there was a lot of emotion coming out there for the national anthem.\u0022
Activate your Online Access NowIt’s been a difficult journey back for the 30-year-old Forsberg. He returned to Ottawa from his home in Sweden in early July and had been working hard to get ready for his return. It was the best-case scenario for everyone involved to get this one out of the way.
The score in this exhibition game against the Leafs won’t mean anything when the puck is dropped for real Oct. 11 against the Carolina Hurricanes, but this was an important move in the right for direction for Forsberg, who saw his first game action in eight months. The decision was made to play all three goalies the full 60 minutes in the first three games of the preseason. In the past, head coach D.J. Smith and goalie coach Zac Bierk split the games early in camp, but this gives everybody a chance to get a full game under their belt to get ready for the year.
A shot by Toronto defenceman William Lagesson from the point beat Forsberg high on the short side at 9:32 of the second. Then, moments after the Senators killed off a 5-on-3, the Leafs tied it up briefly when Alex Steeves beat Forsberg high on the glove side at 17:50.Article content The Senators are going to need both netminders to be consistent and healthy to make the playoffs for the first time in seven years. Forsberg has been the club’s best goalie the last three seasons, and he has a good relationship with Korpisalo so that should be helpful.
