Update -- The Peter Forsberg watch is on. He decided to return to the NHL this week, rejoining his old team. He is scheduled to skate this morning in Denver after having obtained his work visa. Colorado Coach Joel Quenneville said the possibility of Forsberg playing against the Kings was “very doubtful,” telling reporters: “It’s more Peter’s call. I think he knows his body. I think getting to practice with the players between Saturday’s game and Tuesday’s game might be beneficial for him, but I’ll visit with him in the morning and see how he feels.” Kings defenseman Rob Blake will be facing his old teammates as well, having returned to the lineup Thursday at Edmonton, after being out for 11 games because of a fractured left ankle. He played 20 minutes 56 seconds against the Oilers and had three shots on goal in the 5-4 loss.
