On May 15, when Peter Forsberg underwent complicated surgery on his right foot and ankle to repair a ligament defect, no one expected the Flyers center to play this fall. Initially, the Flyers thought he would have surgery on both feet and miss half the season. Instead, the new team captain will be on the ice tonight when the Flyers host the Ottawa Senators in an exhibition game at the Wachovia Center. "I'm way ahead of schedule," Forsberg said yesterday. "I expect to play and to get better and better."
