Backstrom, Nicklas

Nicklas Backstrom had a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The former fourth overall pick has put up 7 points in his last 5 games, while averaging over 21 minutes per game and will continue to thrive as long as he centers superstar Alexander Ovechkin. If for some reason Backstrom is available in your league, pick him up.
