Coach Dale Hunter didn't provide much of update on the status of Nicklas Backstrom, but said the team is being cautious with their top center's head injury. "He's still not feeling 100 percent, so we're being careful," said Hunter. Backstrom hasn't been on the ice since last Friday's practice in San Jose. He isn't expected to play on Wednesday against Pittsburgh and should be considered doubtful for Friday's contest versus Tampa Bay as well. There's no timetable for his return right now and he was recently placed on injured reserve.
