Staying healthy was always the biggest question mark for Derek Forbort when the Vancouver Canucks signed him.
The Vancouver Canucks signed Derek Forbort in part as a replacement for Ian Cole: a veteran defensive defenceman who can hold down a low-event third pairing and potentially play up in the lineup when necessary.
The injury comes after Forbort finally played his 500th career game, his fourth of the season. And it shouldn't have come as a surprise. The issue for Forbort is that last season wasn't an isolated incident. Several of his seasons have been shortened by injury. He played just 54 games in the 2022-23 season and just 20 games in the 2019-20 season.
