Anton Forsberg News
The Winnipeg Jets have claimed Anton Forsberg off of waivers from the Hurricanes.

Forsberg was originally claimed off of waivers by the Hurricanes as insurance before they waived Alex Nedeljkovic but with Nedeljkovic clearing, they no longer needed Forsberg. Winnipeg lost Eric Comrie on waivers last week, so Forsberg fills their No.3 goalie hole.
