Washington has some good young players and some skill, particularly with Ovechkin. We played Pittsburgh [in Friday's home opener], and there was a lot of talk about Sidney Crosby [this season's No. 1 pick]. In a situation like that, I want to prove myself.

I've just been finding the back of the net. I've been getting a lot of chances and skating well, and I want to keep that going as long as I can.

I was glad to still be playing. I got in a good year with a lot of minutes. Maybe some of the guys who didn't play had a harder time getting back into the groove.

He's a very gifted offensive player. He's definitely helping me score goals. He's going to be able to find me on the ice, and I'm going to find him.

That's a tough call. I didn't feel much coming around the corner but that's the call he made.

The puck's kind of finding me right now. Hopefully I can keep it going and help our team put points on the board.

Anytime you see a player accidentally make a play like that, you want to pick him up.
