Nicklas Backstrom Likely To Play
Jun 11, 2014 12:54 AM
Based on the Capitals morning skate, all indications are that Nicklas Backstrom will play Saturday against the Canadiens.
Backstrom has not played since Jan. 3 when he took an elbow to the head from then-Flame Rene Bourque, but the center was medically cleared this week to return to the lineup after passing a baseline neuropsychological test.
