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