Capitals Corner Profile: Daniel Tjarnqvist

Going back to the blueline tonight in Capitals Corner, we have new project Daniel Tjarnqvist joining us. The 26-year-old is a new free agent acquisition for the Capitals and the organization is hoping he can develop into an everyday player.

Daniel is 6-2, 178 pounds, and on a two-year deal at $300,000 per year. He has good strength and discipline and reasonable durability. Other than that, he's a major project for the future and needs a lot of work to make it to the next level.

Tjarnqvist began playing hockey at age five, and he has a younger brother who is also trying to make it as a professional. As a kid growing up in Sweden, he played soccer, ran track, and also took part in downhill skiing.

Away from the ice, Daniel enjoys playing golf. His favorite movie is "Gladiator" and his favorite actor is Sean Connery. Tjarnqvist's favorite band is the Rolling Stones.

Come back next time when we take a look at another player in Capitals Corner.
