Backstrom chipped in a goal and a power-play assist Sunday, but it wasn't enough as the Capitals lost to the Blue Jackets, 3-2.

EDGE Analysis

Backstrom didn't score at all in October, though he's up to four this month to complement 11 total assists with six of those taking place on the man advantage. The Swede has produced at least 70 points in three straight seasons, and is on track to hit that plateau once again in 2016-17 -- health permitting, of course.
