Forbort (undisclosed) is day-to-day and will not play in Sunday's game in Anaheim.

Forbort will be forced to miss Sunday's game after enjoying his most productive game on Saturday against the Kings. Forbort registered two assists in over 22 minutes of ice-time enroute to a 4-2 victory. He'll be replaced in Sunday's lineup by Kevin Shattenkirk.

Forbort (lower-body) will play in Game 1 vs. the Panthers.

Forbort has missed Boston's previous 15 games due to a lower-body injury but will be back to play in Game 1 vs. the Florida Panthers Monday. The 31-year-old closed out his 2022-23 regular season with five goals, 12 points, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games played prior to his injury.

Forbort (lower-body) could be back in the Bruins lineup for Game 1.

Forbort has been sidelined since March 16th but took part in practice over the weekend and could be back in the lineup for Game 1 on Monday. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so Matt Grzelcyk will play if Forbort is unavailable.

Derek Forbort will not play Saturday vs. Minnesota after having an MRI on Friday (undisclosed).

Forbort had an MRI on Friday on his undisclosed injury and is not expected to be in the lineup for either of the Bruins' games this weekend. The 31-year-old has five goals, seven assists, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games this season.

Forbort is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Forbort is expected to be scratched in favour of Joakim Ryan, who returns from a knee injury. Head coach Todd McLellan said that the timing of the bye week and All-Star break "didn't work in Forbort's favour" after working his way back into playing shape after missing the first 43 games of the season with a back injury.

Forbort (back) will make his season debut on Monday.

Forbort was recently recalled from his conditioning stint with Ontario (AHL), where he had one goal in five games. Forbort, who played over 85 percent of his 5v5 ice-time with Drew Doughty last season could be eased back into the lineup on the third-pair tonight but will almost certainly play with Doughty at some point in the near future.
