The Capitals are up 2-0 in their Round 1 series against the Carolina Hurricanes. How did each Cap factor into those victories?
Nicklas Backstrom have yourself a WEEK! Backstrom opened the Capitals’ postseason scoring with two goals in Game 1, and he scored another in Game 2. He was the best Caps player on the ice through both games, and he worked his butt off. His offensive production (3G, 1A) was certainly impressive, but what was perhaps even more impressive were his two shot blocks towards the end of Game 1.
