Forsberg said his shot that beat former NHL goalie Johan Holmqvist at 5:44 of the first period "was a totally bad shot, but that's probably what fooled him." He told Swedish reporters of this play: "I'm not happy with anything. I have to play better if I'm going back to the NHL. Of course it was nice to score. We'll see if it will be better or worse (in Modo's next game) against Djurgarden."

Forsberg is listed on Sweden's preliminary roster for the 2010 Olympics next February in Vancouver.

"I'll play two more games before I decide what's going to happen," Forsberg said. "I have all doors open. Of course, I want to play with Modo, with Sweden in the world championship and the Olympics, and also return to the NHL."
