På tal om Bäckis ska lyckas i NHL eller ej...
Backstrom, the Capitals’ top choice (fourth overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, led the Caps with 24:15 in ice time against Tampa Bay. Still two months shy of his 20th birthday, he skated in all situations and has clearly earned the trust of the coaching staff.

“Backstrom played 24 minutes,” says Hanlon. “He is an easy guy to call. He plays quality minutes. He did everything well; strong along the boards, killed penalties, played power plays. He is one of the few players on our team that can play every single situation well. It’s going to lend itself to a lot of ice time if he can keep up as all of the NHL players are implemented into the roster [of opponents].”
