Niklas Backstrom (lower body) is not being rushed back into action because of the strong play of Josh Harding. Backstrom was injured in the pre-game warmups before Game 1 and while he has started to practice, he is still not well enough to back up Harding as Darcy Kuemper has the job. Backstrom may not see action in Game 4 as well as Harding has been stellar between the pipes.
