We’ve seen the last of Anton Forsberg this season.

To make matters worse, rookie defenceman Jake Sanderson is out two weeks with an undisclosed upper body injury he suffered after taking a hit from Edmonton’s Vincent Desharnais in the third period of the club’s 6-3 loss to the Oilers Saturday afternoon at home.Article contentThe Senators were preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best where Forsberg was concerned.

The hope is that Talbot will resume skating with the Senators later this week and will be able to play sometime in the next couple of weeks. Talbot wants to get back and the hope is he could return next week against or St. Louis Sunday or Boston Monday on the road.Article contentThe club acquired the 35-year-old Talbot from the Minnesota Wild because they wanted him to help push for a spot in the post-season.

You have to wonder what Forsberg’s injury will mean for general manager Pierre Dorion’s approach with at the deadline. Nobody has called to express interest in Talbot, but there may be a team or two looking for depth before March 3rd at 3 p.m. EST rolls around.Article content That’s what the Senators did when they dealt for Craig Anderson from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Brian Elliott on Feb. 18, 2011. The late Bryan Murray wanted to see what Anderson looked like and he ended up spending a decade in the club’s net.
