Niklas Backstrom earned the first star in his first game of the season with two Power Play assists and then the game-winning third period goal on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Fantasy Impact:
Backstrom played in the second line, with Evgeny Kuznetsov remaining at center in the first line. If this arrangement clicks, the Caps top two lines will be something to see.
