Peter Forsberg to Start Practicing With Avalanche

Filed under: Avalanche, NHL Videos

Just when it seemed like his career was finished, Peter Forsberg appears ready for another comeback attempt as he will begin practicing with the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Forsberg, one of the best players of the 1990's and a two-way force in his prime, hasn't played in the NHL since the 2007-08 season when he played nine games with the Avs, tallying one goal and 13 assists.

Injuries limited him for much of his career, and really started to derail him in 2003 as he never played more than 57 games over his final four seasons in the NHL. While he hasn't played this season, he spent the previous two years in the Swedish Elite League but was still limited to just 26 games over that period -- not including his appearance with the Swedish Olympic team during the 2010 Games in Vancouver -- due to injury.

Said Forsberg in a statement released by the Avalanche, "I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out."
