The Canucks did not provide any other details on the matter and did not specify how long Forbort would specifically be away from the team.
Forbort, 32, signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Canucks during this past off-season. This was after the 6-foot-4 defenseman spent the last three seasons with the Bruins. In three games with the Canucks, Forbort has one assist and a minus-1 rating.
In 165 games with the Bruins, Forbort had nine goals, 30 points, 307 hits, and a plus-22 rating.
