Capitals' Nicklas Backstrom: Will not play Saturday

Backstrom (upper body) will not play Saturday against Arizona, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Backstrom will miss his second straight game with the ailment, but is not expected to be out long -- although that is of little comfort to fantasy owners counting on him for their playoff run. Marcus Johansson is again expected to receive top-line duties in Backstrom's absence should you require a replacement.
