OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators announced today that the team has signed goaltender Anton Forsberg to a one-year contract extension. The contract carries a value of $900,000 for the 2021-22 season.
Forsberg, 28, is in the midst of his first campaign with the Senators after being claimed off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets on March 17 and has earned a record of 2-3-1 over six contests with the Senators this season while posting a goals-against average of 3.18 and a .910 save percentage.
"Anton's addition has been a steadying one for us this season," said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. "He possesses a calm and controlled playing style, has good size and ability, is a tireless worker with good habits and is a good teammate. He's worked hard in practice to earn his playing opportunities and this contract extension."
