Bruins add some reinforcements for game 2 against the Maple Leafs
The Boston Bruins called up Derek Forbort to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second clash of round one.
Forbort was sent down to the AHL on a conditioning loan earlier this month, after a major injury that occured in March.
It appears that the 32 year-old defenseman is set to go back to the Bruins' blue line on Monday night for the second game against the Maple Leafs.

Even if the Leafs will be pumped up after their tough 5-1 loss, they'll have an additional challenge going into tonight's game. Forbort brings a steady defensive presence to the Bruins, at 6'4" and 216 lbs.
His season was marked by many injuries, which limited him to a mere 35 games this year. He scored four assists in that time, and tallied a +8 goal differential.
