Boeser has missed the last three games but skated on Monday, will skate again tomorrow but will not play against Vegas. He could be back later in the week.
There has been a flu bug going through the Canucks' locker room and Hughes is battling is at the moment. He missed Tuesday's practice and was questionable to even join the team on the trip to Vegas.
Boeser suffered an injury against the Golden Knights on Sunday and is expected to miss some time with an upper-body injury. The team did not provide a timetable on his return but he's expected to miss at least the next two games.
The Bruins continue to shuffle around their defensemen and Forbort will replace Josh Brown on the third pairing on Saturday.
The Bruins have eight NHL defensemen, so healthy scratches for Forbort could become a regular occurrence. On Thursday, he will be replaced by Mike Reilly.
