Forbort (undisclosed) will return to the Bruins' lineup Tuesday vs. Calgary.

Forbort missed Boston's previous game as he dealt with an undisclosed injury but has used the break to heal up and was a full participant in Boston's practice Sunday. With the Bruins returning to action Tuesday vs. Calgary, Forbort will return to the lineup as he looks to pick up his first goal of the campaign despite having four assists, 15 SOG, and a +12 plus/minus in 24 games played.

DeBrusk missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but was a full participant Sunday in Boston's practice and looks ready to return Tuesday vs. Calgary.

Chytil (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after experiencing a recent setback.

Chytil scarily went down earlier in the week in the first skate upon his return from an upper-body injury and has announced through social media Sunday that he is going to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season. The 24-year-old's announcement comes as a big disappointment after he produced a 22 goal, 45 point season as a 23-year-old in 2022-23.

Chytil (concussion) has suffered a setback directly related to his previous injury at practice Friday after attempting to return.

Chytil has been limited to 10 games this season, last playing on November 2nd when he exited the game with a concussion. Before his injury, Chytil was playing almost exclusively on a line with Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere. His most recent setback is devasting news as he was seemingly making progress towards a return.
