Forsling logged an assist, three hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Lightning in Game 5.
Scouting Report
The late-blooming, undersized defenseman specializes in moving the puck. He is more of a passer than a shooter but does not panic with the puck on his stick. Size and strength are still question marks, although he has proven he can play effectively for 20 minutes per game, night in and night out.
Long Range Potential: Minute-munching, puck-moving defenseman.
