The Swede was taken with the first pick of the seventh round of the USHL Draft by the Muskegon Lumberjacks. He also recently appeared in the Minnesota-based Da Beauty League, making him the youngest player ever to appear in the summer league.
Da Beauty League features players from the NHL and college hockey in a 4-on-4 tournament, held annually since 2015 at Bremer Arena in Edina. In his debut Wednesday night, Forsberg recorded 38 saves in a scoreless tie. Forsberg plays for Team Tria, who are next in action next Wednesday, with puck drop set for 5 p.m. CT.
