The Boston Bruins make major roster move ahead of game two
The Boston Bruins have brought Derek Forbort back into the lineup to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second game of the first round. Forbort had been down in the AHL on a conditioning stint after dealing with a significant injury in March.
The 32-year-old defenseman is expected to bolster the Bruins' defense as they take on the Maple Leafs tonight.

Despite the Leafs coming off a tough 5-1 loss, they'll have their work cut out for them with Forbort back in action. Standing at 6'4" and weighing 216 lbs, Forbort brings a solid defensive presence to the ice.
Injuries have plagued Forbort's season, limiting him to just 35 games. In that time, he managed to notch four assists and maintained a +8 goal differential.
