The Boston Bruins have placed defenseman Derek Forbort on LTIR and recalled rookie defenseman Mason Lohrei from the AHL Bruins. Forbort will be eligible to play on Dec. 31 if he is on LTIR for 24 days. Goalie Jeremy Swayman is also out due to illness, with Tuukka Rask practicing in his place. Brandon Bussi has been called up from AHL Providence to back up Ullmark in the game against Buffalo. Matthew Poitras is not present for warmups, possibly due to illness.
No Matthew Poitras for #NHLBruins warmups before the game vs. #LetsGoBuffalo. I saw him after the morning skate today, and he seemed fine. It could be a healthy scratch, or he has since gotten sick from the bug going around the team. @BOSHockeyNow
Jeremy Swayman is sick and not available for the Bruins tonight. Brandon Bussi is up from Providence and backing up Ullmark tonight
Lots of chatter going around because he filled in for Jeremy Swayman at the morning skate, but to make it clear, Tuukka Rask WILL NOT be the EBug for the #NHLBruins vs #LetsGoBuffalo tonight. Would've been a great story, but oh well. @BOSHockeyNow

Hearing goalie Jeremy Swayman is not the only #NHLBruins player battling a nagging bug that has had multiple players sick over the last week. It will likely be one of those stay hydrated and dig deep type games for the B's vs. #LetsGoBuffalo tonight. @BOSHockeyNow
Bruins update: Bussi (G) called up from AHL Providence on emergency basis. Swayman (ailing) did not participate in morning workut, ahead of game vs. BUF.
Full house at #FlaPanthers practice minus Sergei Bobrovsky. He probably just got the day off after last night’s game. Has happened numerous times on practice days after games. (Obviously will find out from Maurice soon either way.)
Per #NHLBruins head coach Jim Montgomery, goalie Jeremy Swayman will not dress tonight due to an illness. A goalie will be called from the #AHLBruins later today. Former Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask took Swayman’s spot in practice today. @BOSHockeyNow
The #NHLBruins have placed defenseman Derek Forbort on LTIR and recalled rookie defenseman Mason Lohrei from the #AHLBruins. More at @BOSHockeyNow 👇 https://t.co/SHxHnA4Hom
Bruins update: Lohrei recalled from AHL Prov prior to tonight's BUF@BOS. Forbort placed on LTIR.
If today is the first of 24 days Derek Forbort is on LTIR, he will first be eligible to play on Dec. 31. Mason Lohrei has been recalled.
Derek Forbort has been placed on LTIR by the Bruins and Mason Lohrei has been called back up to Boston on an emergency basis. Wasn't an overly long stay in Providence for him.
