Forbort (undisclosed) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

In corresponding moves, the Canucks put Victor Mancini (upper body) on injured reserve and recalled Tom Willander from AHL Abbotsford. Forbort has already missed the last eight games. He will be eligible to play against Chicago on Nov. 5, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

General manager Patrik Allvin said Friday that Forbort (undisclosed) had a setback in his recovery and is now considered week-to-week, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has been on injured reserve since mid-October, and while an initial timetable for his return was unclear, it's discouraging that he had a setback. The 33-year-old isn't guaranteed to be a consistent presence in the lineup once he returns to full health.

Forbort (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton, which is when Forbort was last in the lineup. The 33-year-old will miss Vancouver's next two games, but he is eligible to be activated ahead of Sunday's clash in Washington. Victor Mancini will likely remain in the lineup while Forbort is on the shelf, though there's no guarantee Forbort will play regularly when he is healthy.

Forbort (orbital) participated in Thursday's practice session to begin training camp, signaling that he seems to have put his injury concerns behind him, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort missed the final two games of the 2024-25 regular season due to a broken orbital bone, but it wasn't very surprising to see him back on the ice to begin training camp. Over 54 regular-season appearances last year, he recorded two goals, nine assists, 77 blocked shots, 65 hits and 45 PIM while averaging 17:06 of ice time.

Forbort (orbital) signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Vancouver on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort compiled two goals, 11 points, 39 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 65 hits and 45 PIM across 54 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He missed the final two games of the campaign due to a broken orbital bone, but he should be ready for the beginning of 2025-26.

Forbort underwent minor surgery to repair a broken orbital bone and is doing well, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort missed Vancouver's last two games of the season after sustaining his injury against Minnesota on April 12. The 33-year-old blueliner should be ready for the 2025-26 campaign, though he'll need a new contract, as he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Forbort contributed two goals, nine helpers, 77 blocked shots, 65 hits and 39 shots on goal over 54 appearances in his first season with Vancouver in 2024-25.

Forbort suffered a broken orbital bone during Vancouver's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota on Saturday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

No timetable was provided for Forbort, but it seems fair to believe he will miss Vancouver's final two games, which are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday against San Jose and Vegas, respectively. The 33-year-old defenseman has two goals, 11 points, 45 PIM, 65 hits and 77 blocks in 54 appearances with the Canucks in 2024-25. Tyler Myers (undisclosed) also isn't an option to play Monday, so the Canucks are expected to recall a defenseman from the minors.

Forbort notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has a goal and three helpers over his last nine outings. It's one of his most productive stretches of the season, but that's not saying much, as he's a low-scoring defensive presence on the third pairing. Overall, the 33-year-old has 11 points, 39 shots on net, 40 PIM, 64 hits, 76 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 53 appearances.

Forbort scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has a point in each of the last two games, but that uptick in offense shouldn't be expected to last. The 33-year-old defenseman has played in a third-pairing role for the bulk of the season, and he's at nine points, 35 shots on net, 46 hits, 48 PIM and 69 blocked shots through 46 appearances. The game-winner was his first such goal since the 2022-23 campaign.

Forbort registered an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 33-year-old is seeing steady third-pairing minutes at this point in the season, though his playing style isn't conducive to most fantasy formats. He's at eight points, 34 shots on net, 38 PIM, 46 hits, 69 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 45 appearances.
