Top Derek Forbort News

  • Canucks' Derek Forbort: Pens one-year deal

    Forbort inked a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Vancouver on Monday.

    Forbort played in just 35 regular-season games for the Bruins last season, registering zero goals, four assists and 22 shots on net. The blueliner was more productive in terms of defensive stats, putting up 65 blocked shots and 68 hits. Given his lack of offensive upside, Forbort likely won't be on the radar for most fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Removed from LTIR

    Forbort (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    Forbort sat out the final 20 games of the regular season and Boston's first three playoff contests. He will be an option to play in Game 4 against Toronto on Saturday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he served as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old blueliner earned four assists, 22 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 68 hits in 35 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Unlikely to play in Game 3

    Forbort (undisclosed) likely won't be an option for Game 3 against Toronto on Wednesday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

    Forbort, who is day-to-day, is still listed on long-term injured reserve. He will travel with the team to Toronto, so a return to action for Game 4 on Saturday could be a possibility. Andrew Peeke (finger) is week-to-week after being injured in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, which could lead to Parker Wotherspoon or Mason Lohrei getting into Wednesday's lineup.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Won't play Monday

    Forbort (undisclosed) will not be in action versus Toronto on Monday but will travel with the team for Games 3 and 4, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Forbort was just brought back up from a conditioning stint in the minors, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him being slowly reintegrated into the team. Even once fully up to speed, the veteran defenseman is far from a lock for the lineup, though Andrew Peeke is the most likely candidate to be scratched in favor of Forbort, who will need to be activated from long-term injured reserve to officially be eligible to play.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Returning from conditioning stint

    Forbort (undisclosed) was called up from his conditioning stint with AHL Providence on Monday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

    Forbort saw action in a pair of AHL contests while with Providence, his first time suiting up in the minors since 2019-20. With the 32-year-old blueliner back on the NHL roster, he could get into a playoff game for the Bruins, though it seems unlikely coach Jim Montgomery will want to change anything up ahead of the Game 2 considering the Bruins won 5-1 in the first contest.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Won't play Saturday

    Forbort (undisclosed) will be reevaluated after Game 1 against the Leafs on Saturday, Ty Anderson 98.5 The Sports Hub reports.

    Forbort is currently with AHL Providence on a conditioning assignment and could be in the lineup against AHL Springfield on Friday. Barring any setbacks, the blueliner could link back up with Boston ahead of a Game 2 matchup with Toronto, perhaps challenging Andrew Peeke for a spot in the lineup.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Loaned to AHL Providence

    Forbort (undisclosed) was sent to AHL Providence on an LTI conditioning loan Tuesday.

    Forbort has been sent down to the AHL in hopes of establishing that he's fully healthy and ready to suit up for Boston in the playoffs. The 32-year-old has registered four assists and 22 shots on goal in 35 top-level contests this season. He might end up serving primarily on the third pairing if he is available for the NHL playoffs and could even end up spending some time as a healthy scratch.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: On long-term injured reserve

    Forbort (undisclosed) will be placed on long-term injured reserve Friday, per Matt Porter of The Boston Globe.

    Forbort is not expected to return this season, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe. Forbort will probably conclude the 2023-24 campaign with four assists, 68 hits and 65 blocks in 35 appearances.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Not playing Thursday

    Forbort is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not be in the lineup versus Toronto on Thursday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

    Forbort has missed four of the last five games, but he was previously considered a healthy scratch. He has four assists in 35 games this season. He has been serving as the Bruins' seventh defenseman of late.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Remains out of lineup

    Forbort will sit as a healthy scratch for a second straight contest Thursday versus Vegas.

    Forbort is in coach Jim Montgomery's dog house after missing a team meeting prior to Monday's game versus Seattle. The 31-year-old blueliner has managed just four helpers through 34 contests this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track whether or not he's in Boston's lineup on a nightly basis.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Won't play Monday

    Forbort missed a team meeting and won't be in the lineup against Seattle on Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

    Forbort has yet to register a point in 14 games since returning from a long-term injury, so his absence Monday is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. The blueliner registers plenty of hits and blocked shots, so he could offer some value in certain deeper formats. With Forbort out, Kevin Shattenkirk will enter the lineup.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Ready to return

    Forbort (undisclosed) will return to action Tuesday against the Flames, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

    Forbort will replace Parker Wotherspoon in the lineup following a one-game absence. The 31-year-old Forbort has contributed four assists, 15 shots on goal, 44 blocked shots and 38 hits over 24 contests this campaign.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Unavailable Saturday

    Forbort (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus Philadelphia.

    Forbort has gone scoreless in four contests since returning from a 20-game IR stint. It's unclear if the same injury is keeping him sidelined Saturday, but the 31-year-old blueliner will look to return Feb. 6 versus the Flames following the All-Star break. Forbort has four assists and a plus-12 rating through 24 games this year. Kevin Shattenkirk is expected to rejoin the Bruins' lineup in his absence.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Returning vs. Montreal

    Forbort (undisclosed) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return Saturday against the Canadiens, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

    After missing 20 games, Forbort appears ready to go Saturday. It's a significant boost for Boston's blue line, especially with Brandon Carlo expected back as well. The 31-year-old Forbort has four assists, 29 hits and 35 blocked shots in 20 games this season.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Might return Saturday

    Forbort (undisclosed) may be available for Saturday's clash with Montreal, Joe Haggerty of Bruins' Substack reports.

    Forbort looks poised to return from a 20-game absence due to his undisclosed injury, though he hasn't been officially confirmed to be in the lineup and will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can suit up. If the blueliner does play versus the Habs, it will likely mean a return to AHL Providence for Parker Wotherspoon, especially if fellow defenseman Brandon Carlo (upper body) is also given the all-clear.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Is week-to-week

    Forbort (undisclosed) has resumed skating and is now regarded as "week-to-week," coach Jim Montgomery told Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe on Thursday.

    Forbort hasn't played since Dec. 3 because of the injury. He has four assists, 29 hits and 35 blocks in 20 outings in 2023-24. When Forbort is healthy, Mason Lohrei might lose his spot on the third pairing.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Placed on long-term injured reserve

    The Bruins put Forbort (undisclosed) on long-term injured reserve Thursday, per Conor Ryan of Boston.com.

    Forbort saw a regular shift versus Columbus on Sunday, the last time the Bruins played. He has four assists, 35 blocked shots, 29 hits and 15 PIM in 20 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Bruins recalled defenseman Mason Lohrei from AHL Providence.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Set to play Thursday

    Forbort (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus the Islanders, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

    Forbort missed three straight games due to his lower-body injury. He has two assists in eight contests this season. Forbort is projected to play on the third pairing alongside Kevin Shattenkirk on Thursday. With Forbort back in the fold, Parker Wotherspoon is set to serve as a healthy scratch after playing in Boston's previous three outings.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Will take warmups

    Forbort (lower body) could return against the Islanders on Thursday as long as he makes it through warmups without issue, Joe Haggerty of Bruins' Substack reports.

    Forbort looks set to return to the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran defender was stuck in a four-game pointless streak during which he recorded six shots, six blocks and five hits while averaging 19:40 of ice time. If Forbort suits up versus New York, Parker Wotherspoon is the most likely candidate to be scratched.

  • Bruins' Derek Forbort: Not playing Monday

    Forbort (lower body) won't play in Monday's contest against the Stars.

    Forbort will miss a third straight game despite being considered day-to-day. He has two assists, eight shots on goal, 16 blocked shots and 13 hits in eight appearances this campaign. Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) remain out as well, so Mason Lohrei, Parker Wotherspoon and Ian Mitchell will stay in the lineup.
