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.

Forbort scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Forbort's first of the campaign, coming in his 37th appearance with the Canucks. He didn't score in 2023-24, either -- his last tally prior to Sunday was Feb. 16, 2023 as a member of the Bruins in a game against the Predators. Forbort is up to seven points, 28 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 36 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-7 rating this season while mainly playing in a bottom-four spot.

Forbort notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Nils Hoglander went hard to the net and Forbort found him for the opening goal at 9:56 of the first period. With three assists over his last nine outings, Forbort is enjoying one of his most productive stretches of the season, though it's far from enough to help in most fantasy formats. He's at just six helpers with 23 shots on net, 30 PIM, 44 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-6 rating over 32 appearances this season, playing primarily in a bottom-four role.

Forbort notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has two helpers over his last six outings. The 32-year-old has seen a larger role during the absence of Quinn Hughes (undisclosed). Forbort is still a defense-first blueliner at heart, so it's not expected he'll be a big factor on offense most of the time. For the season, he's produced five helpers, 23 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 28 PIM across 29 appearances, surpassing his point total (four) from 35 contests in the 2023-24 regular season.

Forbort notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort doesn't typically receive power-play time, but he was out there late in the third period while the Predators had their net empty chasing an equalizing tally. Forbort helped out on Pius Suter's empty-netter to seal the win. The 32-year-old Forbort snapped a 12-game point drought and now has four helpers, 19 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 19 PIM, 16 hits and a minus-6 rating over 24 appearances this season.
