Report: Senators' Forsberg on LTIR with groin injury

Ottawa Senators goaltender Anton Forsberg was placed on long-term injured reserve after sustaining a groin injury that forced him out of Thursday's loss to the Buffalo Sabres, according to Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch.

The designation means Forsberg will be out at least 10 games and 24 days. Ottawa recalled Mads Sogaard from the AHL to fill in behind Joonas Korpisalo.

Sogaard hasn't played in the NHL in 2023-24 but has posted a .920 save percentage across 16 games in the minors.

The Senators have been plagued by poor goaltending all season and rank 30th with an .883 all-situations save percentage.
