The Kings are coming off a 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals and will turn to Forsberg to tend the twine on Thursday against a San Jose Sharks team that is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. The 32-year-old Forsberg has been inconsistent this season, but is coming off a terrific performance against his former team, saving all 17 shots he faced for his first shutout of the season in a 1-0 win over the Ottawa Senators. Forsberg has a 2.96 GAA and .890 SV% in six games this season (3-2-1).
