Canucks' Derek Forbort: Expected to play Wednesday
Forbort (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Capitals, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Forbort was labeled a game-time decision but does not appear to be at risk of missing a contest with the issue. The 32-year-old blueliner should be able to take on a little less ice time now that Quinn Hughes is back in action. Forbort has three assists and 16 blocked shots over 13 appearances this season.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Game-time call Wednesday
Forbort will be a game-time decision against the Capitals on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Forbort missed two months of the season due to injuries and illness, so it's not clear if this is a recurrence of one of his previous maladies or a new issue. If the veteran blueliner does miss out, Erik Brannstrom figures to step into the lineup in his stead, though Guillaume Brisebois could also be an option. For his part, Forbort has managed just three points in 13 contests, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Produces helper Thursday
Forbort notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
Forbort has two helpers over his last three games. The 32-year-old defenseman is gaining responsibility while Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) and Filip Hronek (lower body) are out, though Forbort is unlikely to turn into a dynamic scorer. For the season, the Minnesota native has three assists, six shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 11 outings.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Grabs helper in overtime loss
Forbort provided an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.
Forbort played a season-high 20:07 of ice time since the Canucks were without the services of Quinn Hughes (undisclosed). The helper was Forbort's second through nine contests this season. He's added six shots on net, seven hits, 11 blocked shots and eight PIM while typically seeing third-pairing minutes. Forbort may be in for a larger role as long as Hughes is out.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Playing Thursday
Forbort (illness) is set to play Thursday versus the Golden Knights.
Forbort will draw into the lineup for Erik Brannstrom on the third pairing. The 32-year-old Forbort missed three games while under the weather, which followed a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. He has one assist and six blocked shots over five games this season.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Not ready to return
Forbort (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against Utah.
Forbort might be able to return Thursday versus Vegas, according to head coach Rick Tocchet. Forbort has one assist, one hit and six blocks over five appearances in 2024-25. When the 32-year-old defenseman eventually draws into the lineup, it will likely be as part of the third pairing.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Won't play against Avs
Forbort (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Colorado on Monday, per Canucks Insider.
Forbort has appeared in just two of the Cancuks' last 26 contests while dealing with various injuries and illnesses. Even when healthy, the 32-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to produce offensively considering he's never reached the 20-point threshold in his career.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Sitting out Saturday
Forbort (illness) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Saturday, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Forbort was absent from the morning skate and will miss at least one game. He has one assist, three shots on goal, six blocked shots and one hit in five appearances this season. Erik Brannstrom will replace Forbort in Saturday's lineup.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Set to play Thursday
Forbort (knee) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play against Florida on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Forbort hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 2. He has an assist, a hit and five blocks in four appearances in 2024-25. Noah Juulsen is projected to be a healthy scratch due to Forbort's return.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Sporting regular sweater
Forbort (knee) practiced in a regular jersey Tuesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
It was the first time Forbort was able to ditch the non-contact jersey, so he should probably be considered a doubt to face the Blues on Tuesday but could be back in action sooner rather than later. Even once cleared to play, the veteran defenseman is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and may have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Shifts to IR
Forbort (knee) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Forbort hasn't played since Nov. 2 and is out indefinitely. He has one assist, three shots on net and five blocked shots while being limited to four appearances this season. Noah Juulsen and Vincent Desharnais have been in and out of the lineup during Forbort's absence.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Facing extended absence
Forbort is expected to be sidelined for weeks, possibly as long as a month, due to a knee injury, Freelance reporter Irfaan Gaffar reports Wednesday.
Due to a personal matter and his knee problem, Forbort has played in just one of the Canucks' last eight contests. Now, the veteran blueliner is slated to miss as much as a month of action. Given his timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Minnesota native placed on long-term injured reserve in the coming days. Erik Brannstrom should see the bulk of the minutes on the third pairing in Forbort's absence, though Noah Juulsen could also be in the mix.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Being evaluated
Forbort (undisclosed) won't be available to play Tuesday against Anaheim and is being evaluated for an injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Forbort left Monday's practice early in some discomfort. He has one assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and one hit in four appearances this season. Due to Forbort's absence, Vincent Desharnais will probably play versus the Ducks.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Ready to return
Forbort (personal) is ready to rejoin the Canucks, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reported Thursday.
Forbort has been away from the Canucks for the last week. The defenseman has missed the last three games and has one assist in three appearances this season. Vancouver sent Erik Brannstrom to the AHL earlier in the day and Forbort is expected to take his place in the lineup when Pittsburgh comes to town Saturday.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Away from team
Forbort has left the Canucks for personal reasons, the team announced Thursday.
Forbort will likely miss the remainder of Vancouver's road trip, keeping him out the next three games. In his stead, Vincent Desharnais should step into the lineup on the third pairing, while Erik Brannstrom has been elevated from the minors in order to provide blue-line depth if needed.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Collects assist Friday
Forbort logged an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Forbort set up a Teddy Blueger tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Forbort signed a one-year deal with the Canucks in July after playing for the Bruins over the last three seasons. He was limited to four assists in 35 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and he spent two stints on long-term injured reserve with undisclosed ailments. The defenseman will fill a third-pairing role for the Canucks, and given his failure to earn a 20-point season so far in his career, he will have very minimal fantasy value.

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.
