Kings Player Chirps Bruins Defenceman Before Game
For Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort, the recent trip to Los Angeles carried special meaning. It marked his return to a place he once called home, as the 31-year-old had launched his NHL career with the LA Kings. Forbort had spent five seasons with the Kings, initially selected as the 15th overall pick in the 2010 draft.
As the Bruins set foot in the Crypto.com Arena, Forbort found himself in the company of old teammates, including fellow defenseman Drew Doughty. In a playful pre-game banter, Doughty couldn't resist teasing Forbort about wearing his helmet during warm-ups, a lighthearted comment later shared with reporters.
However, when the final buzzer sounded, it was Forbort who had the last laugh on his former turf. The seasoned defenseman played a crucial role in the Bruins' triumph against the Kings, notching assists on two of their four goals, solidifying Boston's perfect 4-0-0 record this season.
Now, the Bruins aim to keep their unblemished record intact as they face the Anaheim Ducks in a back-to-back game on Sunday night. NESN's comprehensive coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. ET, offering viewers the chance to participate in the first "Predict the Game" contest of the centennial season, with exciting prizes up for grabs.
