He also has 90 hits, 67 blocks, 29 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while serving as a more defensive option in a bottom-four role.

Forbort scored a goal on one shot against the Islanders on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort had been mired in both a 15-game goal drought and a 13-game pointless streak prior to Wednesday's marker. Not exactly known as an offensive powerhouse, the 30-year-old blueliner has n ever reached the 20-point mark in his eight-year NHL career and probably shouldn't be expected to this season either.

Forbort notched an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort has logged two assists and gone plus-4 in six games since returning from finger surgery. The 30-year-old defenseman has five points, 13 shots on net, 41 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 16 outings this season. He's more of a physical player and has never recorded a 20-point season, so fantasy managers likely won't be tracking his production closely.

Forbort earned an assist and registered a game-best plus-3 rating during Saturday's 5-1 victory over the visiting Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort, who registered a game-high plus-3 rating, earned the primary helper on Jake DeBrusk's 100th career goal, a third-period marker that capped Saturday's scoring. The 30-year-old defenseman has produced just 83 points in 419 career games and has yet to produce more than 18 points during any of his eight NHL campaigns. Against the Avalanche, Forbort received 15:21 of ice time, the least amount among the Bruins' blueliners.

Forbort recorded two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from an 11-game absence due to a finger injury, Forbort didn't make an impact on offense but took a regular shift and even led the Bruins by playing 2:05 on the penalty kill. The 30-year-old blueliner further reinforces a Boston squad that didn't exactly need the help, as the Bruins lead the league with a 2.18 team GAA and extended their NHL record home winning streak to begin the season to 13 games.

Forbort had open reduction and internal fixation surgery on his right middle finger Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort is expected to need 4-6 weeks to recover. He left Tuesday's game after being hit by the puck. He has a goal and three points in 10 games this season. With Forbort unavailable, Mike Reilly drew back into the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Forbort (upper body) is considered week-to-week and has returned to Boston to undergo further evaluation, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Forbort's timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise after he was designated for injured reserve Wednesday and is already going to miss at least the next three games as a result. With Forbort on the shelf, Mike Reilly and Jakub Zboril seem poised to share the final spot in the lineup, though Anton Stralman could find himself watching from the press box periodically as well.
