Backstrom has two goals in win: Nicklas Backstrom had two goals and an assist while Eric Fehr added a goal and an assist, leading the Capitals past the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Monday night in a game Alex Ovechkin left early with an apparent knee injury. "Ovechkin's injury was bad, of course," Backstrom said. "He's creating so many opportunities to score for us. But we found another way to win today, and we're happy about it. When the best player goes out, it's a challenge for the other guys." Washington took little time to even the score in the first period after Carolina scored at 4:35, with Backstrom receiving Ovechkin's pass into the low slot and poking it past Michael Leighton at 6:11. The Capitals went up 2-1 at even strength with 2:40 left in the first as Fehr scored from the left circle with Backstrom assisting. Washington stretched its lead to 3-1 with about five minutes left in the second, when Backstrom scored from Fehr as Leighton had left the crease.

Fantasy Analysis
Backstrom was mired in a serious scoring funk before Monday. He has no goals and two assists in his previous eight games. He really needed a big game in a major way and got it. That's the reason you keep Backstrom active at all times. He has the potential to be a multi-point threat on a nightly basis.
