Ice hockey great Peter Forsberg scored less than six minutes into his comeback game but his hometown team Modo lost 4-2 to Frolunda in a Swedish Elite League opener on Thursday.
Forsberg beat former NHL goalie Johan Holmqvist just 5:44 in with a shot between the pads that brought the crowd of 6,596 at Swedbank Arena in Ornskoldsvik to its feet.
"It was a totally bad shot, but that's probably what fooled him (Holmqvist)," Forsberg said.
Forsberg looked rusty the rest of the way.
