Nicklas Backstrom may miss Flyers game due to illness

Tuesday morning, the Washington Capitals announced that Nicklas Backstrom will miss the team’s morning skate. The Swedish center will be a game-time decision against the Flyers due to illness.

The Capitals and Flyers faceoff at Capital One Arena at 7:30 pm.

Backstrom, point-less in his last three games, has spent a majority of the season centering the Capitals’ second line. He is the team’s second-leading point-getter with 44 points (10g, 34a) in 41 games, one of three Caps players averaging more than a point per game.

During practice Monday, Nicky centered Jakub Vrana and TJ Oshie. Lars Eller took his spot on the second line and first-unit powerplay during the morning skate.

Backstrom is one of seven Caps players to play every game of the season so far.

what's with this 7:30 horse pucky?

Pilly is starting their 7th goalie tonight, tying an NHL record. Hopefully that works well for the home team

ArJunaZ:
Flyers have lost 9 in a row and got booed after last nights loss.

I just finished watching the movie "The Predator" (2018) 30 minutes ago.  The main two characters were named McKenna like the poor new goalie in net for the Flyers tonight.  Coincidentally, McKenna's face mask looks very much like the the alien predator mask in the movie.
