Forsberg Ends Comeback After Two Games

By Justin Worsley,

Colorado Avalanche center Peter Forsberg has decided to retire after attempting a comeback to the league that lasted only two games.

Forsberg, 37, returned to the NHL after a three-year hiatus in order to attempt a comeback with the Avalanche, with whom he won two Stanley Cups.

Forsberg, a Swedish native, began training with the Avalanche on January 21. Two weeks later, he signed a contract for the remained of the season with Colorado and made his season debut against Columbus last Friday.

In two games, Forsberg failed to score and posted a minus-four rating. Neither game was at home.

In his career, Forsberg has scored 249 goals and 636 assists in 708 games.
