Canucks Place Derek Forbort on Injured Reserve, Ruling Him Out for Start of Road Trip

The undisclosed issue is retroactive to Oct. 11, making him ineligible until Oct. 18, prompting blue line adjustments.

Overview

  • General manager Patrik Allvin announced the IR move, which ensures Forbort will miss games in Dallas and Chicago.
  • Forbort last played in the 3–1 loss to Edmonton, with his subsequent scratch initially attributed to load management.
  • Vancouver has six healthy defensemen, with Victor Mancini remaining in the lineup after making his season debut Monday.
  • Pierre‑Olivier Joseph practiced and could be activated to fill the roster spot, with AHL options Kirill Kudryavtsev or Tom Willander under consideration.
  • Forbort becomes eligible to return Oct. 18 after the two road games, though no return date has been set.
