Backstrom notched a natural hat trick in Washington's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay. It was his first regular-season hat trick. The guy is known as a playmaker, so what gives with the goals? We're not complaining by any means. He has five points (three goals, two assists) in his last three games and 30 points in 29 games. He's the Caps' scoring leader and needs to rolled with every start.
