TORONTO -- Peter Forsberg's stellar return to the NHL after an injury that forced him to miss an entire regular season culminated with him being chosen as the league's most valuable player on Thursday night.
Forsberg won the scoring title with 106 points and became the first Swedish player to capture the Hart Trophy. It was presented during the league's annual awards ceremonies.
"I've been very fortunate to play for a good team for a long time," said the two-time Stanley Cup winner from the Colorado Avalanche.
Forsberg, 29, had a remarkable comeback last season after missing the previous campaign recuperating from injuries and contemplating his future. He earned a $100,000 bonus for the award.
The other finalists were New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur and Vancouver forward Markus Naslund.
