Backstrom (undisclosed) is slated to return Tuesday against the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Backstrom was back in his usual spot centering the second line between Anthony Mantha and Tom Wilson during the morning skate and appears to be good to go after being rested for Sunday's win over the Bruins. The 34-year-old has a goal and five points in his last six games and should be a worthwhile fantasy play in all formats.
