Bruins call up veteran defenseman for game 2 against Toronto

The Boston Bruins have called up the veteran defenseman Derek Forbort from the AHL ahead of the second game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Back in March, he was placed on the LTIR and a week ago, was sent down to the AHL, with the Providence Bruins, for a conditioning stint.


It was just announced that the Bruins called him back up, just before the second clash Vs. the Maple Leafs.





The Leafs struggled to score in the first game and ended up losing 5-1. While goaltender Jeremy Swayman did an amazing job, the defensemen also played very well. Now, with Forbort, it'll be even harder for the Leafs to reach the net.

Forbort, 32, is a defensive defenseman. In 35 games this season, he has four points and a +8 goal differential. At 6'4" and 216 lbs, he could give a hard time to Leafs' players.

Do you think the Leafs will score more than one goal in game two of the series against the Bruins?
