I'd guess he'll return to defence. Sometimes a coach will move a defenceman to forward just to get him going and give him some ice time. When a player has been injured or missed some time, lost confidence, etc., the player may be a little hesitant. Going to forward seems to get them into the game where the chance of screwing up isn't that critical.
