Forbort is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Forbort left Monday’s win over the Avalanche with a lower-body injury and did not return. It was later determined to be serious enough to keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks, which is a huge blow to a Kings team headed to the postseason. Forbort has picked up 18 points (1G / 18A) and a plus-18 rating while logging over 20 minutes per night on the Kings blueline this season.

The Kings signed Derek Forbort to a two-year deal on July 11th.

Forbort, 24, was the 15th overall pick in 2010 and cracked the NHL roster in 2015-16. He spent the majority of the year with Ontario (AHL), collecting 10 points and 40 PIMS in 40 games, but he dressed in 14 contests with the Kings where he had one goal and one assist. Forbort will look to crack the Kings roster in training camp this Fall.

The Kings have reassigned Derek Forbort to Ontario (AHL).

Forbort, 23, did not record a point in two games with the Kings. He has been reassigned because Matt Greene is expected to return to the lineup soon. Forbort heads to the AHL, where he had four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 67 games last season.
