Backstrom playing well without Ovie: The Sports Xchange reports Capitals C Nicklas Backstrom hasn't been slowed by the loss of linemate Alex Ovechkin, who has missed a few games with an upper-body injury. He added two more assists on Saturday against the Panthers and has 17 in the team's 17 games.

Fantasy Analysis

Backstrom makes the Caps' offense go in so many ways, and already has become one of the NHL's top play-makers. A few years ago he might have struggled to stand on his own two feet without Ovechkin, but that is no longer the case. He remains a must-start Fantasy option.
