Derek Forbort News
The Boston Bruins have sent defenseman Derek Forbort to the American Hockey League's Providence Bruins on a long-term injury conditioning loan. The veteran blueliner has been out since March 2 due to a lower-body injury. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said on March 8 that Forbort was "more than likely" out for the season due to two separate undisclosed injuries. For the season, the 32-year-old has recorded four assists in 35 games while adding 68 hits, 65 blocks, and 17 penalty minutes to his resume. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest against the Ottawa Senators sitting first in the Atlantic Division and can clinch the division with a victory in their season finale.
Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus Toronto. He was already questionable for the tilt and has now officially been ruled out, leaving Boston without three defensemen for the contest as Charlie McAvoy starts a four-game suspension and Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) isn't available. Kevin Shattenkirk is set to play a much larger role on Thursday, with Mason Lohrei set to make his NHL debut and Ian Mitchell also coming into the lineup. Forbort is regarded as day-to-day, meaning he should make a relatively quick return to the lineup.
Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort (undisclosed) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's big match against the Maple Leafs. Boston has already lost Charlie McAvoy to a suspension and won't have Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) available, meaning the blue line could be down to bare bones Thursday night. Forbort has collected only two points in eight games this season, but he's been highly effective, recording a plus-seven rating. Hampus Lindholm teamed up with Kevin Shattenkirk to form a new-look first defensive pairing in Wednesday's practice, while Brandon Carlo was paired with Mason Lohrei on the second pairing.
Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort (lower body) won't play this weekend against Minnesota and Buffalo. He made an early exit in Thursday's 3-0 victory over Winnipeg, and Forbort's injury will give Connor Clifton an opportunity to re-enter the lineup. Clifton has posted a nice plus-18 rating across 64 appearances while putting in a lot of work without the puck. He has recorded 178 hits and 97 blocks. However, managers shouldn't expect much from Clifton offensively, as he has tallied only five goals and 17 points with 81 shots on goal this season.
