Forsberg will start on Thursday vs. New York.

The Senators, fresh off a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, will switch to Forsberg between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Forsberg has a solid 2.65 GAA and .910 SV% in six games (3-2-0), stats greatly skewed by two impressive shutouts in his last three games. The Senators enter the action on Thursday as -137 home favorites against an Islanders club averaging only 2.46 goals per game, bottom-five in the NHL.

Kuemper will start in Nashville on Monday.

Kuemper allowed a final-minute game-tying goal in the third period in his previous outing, an eventual 4-3 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. That said, he will return to the crease on Monday night against the Nashville Predators. Despite a disastrous performance when he allowed eight goals on 41 shots (.805 SV%) in an 8-7 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Kuemper has been serviceable between the pipes in his first season as a King, allowing three or fewer goals in five of six games, recording a .890 SV%. The Kings enter the action on Monday as +126 road underdogs against a Predators club with points in five of their last six (4-1-1).

Bolduc has been loaned to Bridgeport (AHL).

Bolduc made his season debut on Sunday in a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers, playing 5:56 time-on-ice and recording a -1 plus/minus. His reassignment to the Bridgeport Islanders (AHL) likely indicates that Alexander Romanov (upper body) could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
