DENVER — Colorado Avalanche forward Peter Forsberg is retiring from the NHL after playing in just two games during his latest comeback.

A chronic foot ailment cut short Forsberg’s career. He made a brief return in 2008 and didn’t play in the NHL again until this month. He took the ice in just two games, scoring no points, before deciding to call it a career.

The former NHL MVP will hold a news conference this afternoon before the team’s game against the Calgary Flames.
