Derek Forbort News

Forbort has been a regular in the Bruins' defensive core over the last month but will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Kevin Shattenkirk to draw back into the lineup. The 31-year-old Forbort has four points (0G / 4A) in 34 games this season.

Forbort missed Boston's previous game as he dealt with an undisclosed injury but has used the break to heal up and was a full participant in Boston's practice Sunday. With the Bruins returning to action Tuesday vs. Calgary, Forbort will return to the lineup as he looks to pick up his first goal of the campaign despite having four assists, 15 SOG, and a +12 plus/minus in 24 games played.

With the Bruins returning to action Tuesday vs. Calgary, Forbort should find himself ready to go as he looks to pick up his first goal of the campaign despite having four assists, 15 SOG, and a +12 plus/minus in 24 games played.

Forbort would first be eligible to return on December 31st when the Bruins visit the Detroit Red Wings as the veteran defenceman nurses an undisclosed injury. Forbort has primarily played this season skating alongside Kevin Shattenkirk. Mason Lohrei has been recalled from the Providence Bruins of the AHL in the interim.

Forbort has been out of the lineup since October 30th with a lower-body injury and was a game-time decision Thursday vs. Boston. In eight games this season, Forbort has two points (0G / 2A), 16 hits, and 13 blocks. Forbort would be a welcome addition on Thursday to a Bruins defensive core that is without Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper-body).

Forbort is coming off a season-high 23:28 on Monday for the Bruins in their 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and, after being unable to play on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, remains questionable Saturday. Forbort's absence comes at a time when the Bruins are already thin on the back end, being without Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper-body). On Wednesday, the team recalled defensemen Parker Wotherspoon, Ian Mitchell, and Mason Lohrei from the Providence Bruins of the AHL.

Forbort missed one game with a groin issue that he's been dealing with since training camp. He'll be back on the Bruins' third pair with Kevin Shattenkirk and comes in with two assists in four games this season.

Forbort will be forced to miss Sunday's game after enjoying his most productive game on Saturday against the Kings. Forbort registered two assists in over 22 minutes of ice-time enroute to a 4-2 victory. He'll be replaced in Sunday's lineup by Kevin Shattenkirk.

Forbort has missed Boston's previous 15 games due to a lower-body injury but will be back to play in Game 1 vs. the Florida Panthers Monday. The 31-year-old closed out his 2022-23 regular season with five goals, 12 points, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games played prior to his injury.

Forbort has been sidelined since March 16th but took part in practice over the weekend and could be back in the lineup for Game 1 on Monday. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so Matt Grzelcyk will play if Forbort is unavailable.

Forbort had an MRI on Friday on his undisclosed injury and is not expected to be in the lineup for either of the Bruins' games this weekend. The 31-year-old has five goals, seven assists, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games this season.
