• Canucks' Derek Forbort: Pens one-year deal

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  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

  04/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  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

  04/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  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: Returning from conditioning stint

  04/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

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.
