Gustav Forsling News
The Florida Panthers have signed defenseman Gustav Forsling to an eight-year contract extension that carries a $5.75 million average annual value. It's a nice story for a player that the team claimed off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 9, 2021. The 27-year-old enjoyed a breakout season in the 2022-23 campaign, tallying 13 goals and 41 points across 82 games while averaging a career-high 23:26 of ice time per game. He has followed that up with a healthy nine goals and 31 points across 62 games this season while his eye-popping plus-43 rating is the best mark in the NHL. The Panthers also announced a two-year contract extension for forward Jonah Gadjovich on Thursday. The 25-year-old has recorded two goals and four points while skating just 7:26 per night across 33 games this season.
Florida Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling (undisclosed) will be in the lineup on Saturday against Washington. He was initially iffy for the contest after getting hurt in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Carolina. Forsling plays a highly effective game for the Panthers and has posted a plus-39 rating across 56 games while compiling 27 points (eight goals, 19 assists). He will continue to skate with Aaron Ekblad on the first defensive pairing on Saturday.
Florida Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling suffered an undisclosed injury in Thursday's matchup against Carolina, which limited him to only 4:52 of action. He took six shifts and registered one hit before exiting. Forsling had played a big part in Florida's success this season and has tallied 27 points (eight goals, 19 assists) in 56 games with a league-best plus-39 rating. Fortunately, it appears as though the Swedish blue-liner avoided serious injury because Panthers head coach Paul Maurice announced after the game that Forsling is considered day-to-day. However, Forsling's status for Saturday's game against Washington will still be up in the air following his exit on Thursday.
Florida Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling (personal) is expected to rejoin the lineup Wednesday versus Arizona. He sat out Monday's game against Nashville for personal reasons. Forsling's role on the Panthers blue line has lessened since Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour made their season debuts, but it's still been a good campaign for him. The Swedish rearguard has scored in each of his previous two appearances and boasts 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 45 games overall while sitting third in the league with a plus-32 rating. Josh Mahura will likely come out of the lineup to accommodate Forsling on Wednesday.
