Ottawa Senators goaltender Anton Forsberg will be out indefinitely after tearing the MCL in both knees at the same time during a play in Saturday’s loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
The Senators have had an up-and-down campaign in 2022-2023, but things seemed to be on the uptick after the 24-24-3 squad had won four-straight heading into their Saturday afternoon clash with the Oilers. Unfortunately, despite scoring three goals in the second period to tie the game, Edmonton ran away with it in the third with a trio of goals of their own. Yet the 6-3 loss was the least of the Senators’ problems on the night.
With six minutes left in the game, a scramble at the Ottawa Senators’ net led to a nightmarish scenario for goalie Anton Forsberg. As his left leg was pinned against the net to defend one side, Oilers player Zach Hyman was pushed in the back and ended up falling on the goalie’s right leg while trying to knock the puck loose.
