Nicklas Backstrom Questionable For Game 6
7 years agoWashington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom is questionable for Monday's Game 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins after suffering an upper-body injury on Saturday night. The elite Swede appeared to have injured his hand while blocking a shot during the penalty kill in the first period and sat most of the third period as a result. Backstrom is tied for second on the team with 13 points in the playoffs and would be a heavy loss after they already lost forwards Tom Wilson and Andre Burakovsky.
