Filip Forsberg might not be a household name even for hockey fans, but he’s having the sort of season that should at least force opponents to take notice.
Failing that, anyone putting together highlights from Tuesday will likely know his name.
Forsberg scored his 32nd goal of 2015-16 to give the Nashville Predators a 2-0 lead against the Colorado Avalanche. If you want an idea of how impressive that was (and for some reason don’t want to just check the video), notice his own delight at the replay:

This is a great shot, too:
The Avs have some work to do, including maybe keeping an eye on Forsberg.
The NHL's leading goal-scorers since the All-Star break? Filip Forsberg and Alex Ovechkin, each with 18. Both have scored tonight.
