Backstrom scored a goal and added a power-play assist during Saturday's Game 2 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

It was a disappointing night for the Capitals. Backstrom continued to be a strong offensive force with his third multi-point game of the playoffs, and the center is up to three goals, five assists and 15 shots through seven games. But with Washington down 2-0 in the series, Backstrom's chances to add to his numbers might be limited without a significant turnaround for the Caps.
