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.
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.
