The Capitals will be without Nicklas Backstrom as they open their regular season. Backstrom is recovering from a hip injury, and the team believes he will miss four or five games at this point. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

The Capitals will certainly miss Backstrom, who led the league with 60 assists last season. Since the injury isn't new information, you hopefully drafted accordingly. He should continue to produce upon his return.
