Forbort (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Capitals, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort was labeled a game-time decision but does not appear to be at risk of missing a contest with the issue. The 32-year-old blueliner should be able to take on a little less ice time now that Quinn Hughes is back in action. Forbort has three assists and 16 blocked shots over 13 appearances this season.

Forbort will be a game-time decision against the Capitals on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort missed two months of the season due to injuries and illness, so it's not clear if this is a recurrence of one of his previous maladies or a new issue. If the veteran blueliner does miss out, Erik Brannstrom figures to step into the lineup in his stead, though Guillaume Brisebois could also be an option. For his part, Forbort has managed just three points in 13 contests, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Forbort notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has two helpers over his last three games. The 32-year-old defenseman is gaining responsibility while Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) and Filip Hronek (lower body) are out, though Forbort is unlikely to turn into a dynamic scorer. For the season, the Minnesota native has three assists, six shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 11 outings.

Forbort provided an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort played a season-high 20:07 of ice time since the Canucks were without the services of Quinn Hughes (undisclosed). The helper was Forbort's second through nine contests this season. He's added six shots on net, seven hits, 11 blocked shots and eight PIM while typically seeing third-pairing minutes. Forbort may be in for a larger role as long as Hughes is out.

Forbort (illness) is set to play Thursday versus the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort will draw into the lineup for Erik Brannstrom on the third pairing. The 32-year-old Forbort missed three games due to the illness, which followed a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. He has one assist and six blocked shots over five games this season.

Forbort (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort might be able to return Thursday versus Vegas, according to head coach Rick Tocchet. Forbort has one assist, one hit and six blocks over five appearances in 2024-25. When the 32-year-old defenseman eventually draws into the lineup, it will likely be as part of the third pairing.

Forbort (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Colorado on Monday, per Canucks Insider.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has appeared in just two of the Cancuks' last 26 contests while dealing with various injuries and illnesses. Even when healthy, the 32-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to produce offensively considering he's never reached the 20-point threshold in his career.

Forbort (illness) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Saturday, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort was absent from the morning skate and will miss at least one game. He has one assist, three shots on goal, six blocked shots and one hit in five appearances this season. Erik Brannstrom will replace Forbort in Saturday's lineup.

Forbort (knee) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play against Florida on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 2. He has an assist, a hit and five blocks in four appearances in 2024-25. Noah Juulsen is projected to be a healthy scratch due to Forbort's return.

Forbort (knee) practiced in a regular jersey Tuesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first time Forbort was able to ditch the non-contact jersey, so he should probably be considered a doubt to face the Blues on Tuesday but could be back in action sooner rather than later. Even once cleared to play, the veteran defenseman is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and may have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically.
