Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery delivered sobering news on defenseman Derek Forbort's lower-body injury.

Despite a promising initial recovery, the demanding schedule of nine games in 16 days took a toll on Forbort, prompting the Bruins to put him on LTIR.

"We gave him five days off, and it was doing well. But the repetitive demands on the body during nine games in 16 days, it's come back," Coach Montgomery explained.

The setback adds complexity to the team's season, and Forbort's absence will be felt on the blue line. Coach Montgomery expressed confidence in the team's adaptability, emphasizing the need for depth and resilience to overcome this challenge.

As the Bruins navigate this difficult stretch, fans rally behind Forbort, hoping for a swift and complete recovery.
