STOCKHOLM -- Peter Forsberg is set to play for his hometown team Modo in a Swedish Elite League home opener against Frolunda on Thursday in yet another comeback attempt following a lingering foot injury.

The former NHL MVP has practiced with the team since early August and played two games during a pre-season tournament in Switzerland a month ago.

Modo has given the 36-year-old Forsberg a one-week tryout contract, which means he'll play at least three games. He can play with Modo until the NHL season begins Oct. 2 without jeopardizing a possible comeback in the NHL.

The veteran centre, who won two Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche, has only played sporadically over the last two seasons because of an ailing right foot.

Forsberg ready for another comeback in Sweden

I'm gonna call that Forsberg does make his return, and the Rangers sign him to some ridiculous contract.
