Anton Forsberg Leads Senators to 3-0 Win Over Panthers

Anton Forsberg recorded his third shutout of the season with a stellar performance, making 40 saves in the Ottawa Senators' 3-0 victory over the Florida Panthers on April 5, 2025. This win marks the Senators' second consecutive victory, helping them solidify their position in the Eastern Conference wild-card race. Forsberg's strong play included crucial saves that kept the Panthers from scoring, despite Ottawa being outshot during parts of the game. The Senators' defenseman Jake Sanderson contributed with a goal and an assist, while Drake Batherson and Matthew Highmore also found the net. The Panthers, on the other hand, have now lost four games in a row, struggling to maintain their playoff positioning. Both teams were missing key players due to injuries, including the Senators' captain Brady Tkachuk and the Panthers' Aleksander Barkov.
