2 months agoWashington Capitals forwards Nicklas Backstrom (illness) and T.J. Oshie (personal) will rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Penguins. Both players sat out Tuesday's clash with Colorado. Following hip surgery, Backstrom's season debut came very late, and he has skated in only seven games so far, going goalless with three assists. He is set to center a line with Sonny Milano and Marcus Johansson on Thursday. Oshie, who has posted 10 goals and seven assists in 32 games, is primed to join Alex Ovechkin's line, which also features Dylan Strome.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
