At 6 feet 5, 230 pounds, Viktor Kozlov towers above his new teammates. But an enormous frame isn't the only reason the Washington Capitals forward has stood out from the crowd during training camp. Kozlov has shown the rare ability to control the puck in traffic, distribute passes with a marksman's accuracy and use his rangy reach to disrupt opponents -- all while operating at top speed. The most intriguing revelation about Kozlov's game, though, is how it seems to be meshing with left wing Alex Ovechkin's.

yeah, it will all come down to if playing with Forsberg will keep him interested enough in playing hard all season long

It could ignite him to play to his full potential.
