There's positive news on the horizon for the Bruins as defenseman Derek Forbort takes a step closer to returning from his lower-body injury.

The left-shot defenseman hit the ice for practice on Thursday (Jan. 4), marking a significant stride in his recovery.

Coach Montgomery provided a promising update on Forbort's potential return to game action, stating,

«Week to week, starting (Thursday) as he ramps up and progresses. I'll have more news, but it's a good sign that he's finally on the ice.»

Forbort, aged 31, had last seen action on Dec. 3 against the Columbus Blue Jackets before finding himself on long-term injured reserve (LTIR). Across 20 games this season, he has contributed four assists and boasts a commendable plus-9 rating.

The main news about Forbort's return and the encouraging signs of his on-ice presence is strategically positioned at the end, creating anticipation and emphasizing the positive development for the team.
