Forsberg was called-up when Petr Mrazek and James Reimer got hurt. He served as the backup for the first two games but will face the Avalanche tonight. He was 15-9-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .905 SV% in the AHL when he was called up. The 27-year-old comes into Friday at 11-24-4 with a 3.21 GAA and .901 SV% in 45 career NHL games with the Blue Jackets and Blackhawks.

Cousins will play on the third line with Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy. He joins his new team with 22 points (9G / 13A) in 58 games this season, including four power-play points (2G / 2A).
Cousins was not on the ice for the Golden Knights morning skate because he is having issues with his visa coming from Canada. Vegas skated with 11 forwards, leaving a spot open for Cousins to skate with Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy on the third line. Consider Cousins as a game-time decision.
Brassard has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will be back on the Islanders' second line with Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier on Tuesday. Brassard has scored 10 goals with 19 assists (29 points) in 59 games this season.
Holden was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season but is now locked up through the 2022 season. Holden has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 54 games this season while ranking third among Vegas defensemen in PK TOI (1:56/gm).
Cousins was an effective bottom-6 forward for the Canadiens this season, posting 22 points (9G / 13A) in 58 games while playing just 13:28 ATOI. In Vegas, he'll help fill a void left by Alex Tuch's injury and should be a third line winger moving forward.
Chabot was hurt early in Saturday's game vs. the Canadiens but will play tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. This is obviously big news for the Senators, but he comes in with just three assists in his last 11 games.
MacEwen sat as a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Brock Boeser, who is on IR with an upper-body injury. MacEwen has one goal and one assist in nine NHL games this season.
Hamonic was forced to leave Saturday's game in Vancouver and will miss tonight's game with an undisclosed injury. With Hamonic out, Brandon Davidson will draw back into the Flames lineup and Alexander Yelesin was recalled to serve as the seventh defenseman.
Jensen was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Radko Gudas in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Jensen has had very little success offensively this season, posting four assists in 54 games.
Highmore has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Alex Nylander in the lineup on Sunday. Highmore has one goal and two assists in 19 games this season.
Anderson allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Senators loss in Toronto last Saturday. Anderson has played well in his last two starts, stopping 62 of the 66 shots (.939 SV%) that he has faced. Anderson is an ugly 4-7-1 with a 3.43 GAA and .893 SV% on the road this season, so he's a risky option on Saturday afternoon.
