Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom, who has just made his season debut, will be forced to watch things from the sidelines again on Friday after he entered COVID-19 protocols. He had a good comeback game on Wednesday against Chicago, finishing a 5-4 overtime loss with an assist and five shots. Evgeny Kuznetsov is also on the COVID-19 list and that lifted Lars Eller to the top line on Wednesday. Another change is now coming up in the top six with Backstrom out. Younger guys like Connor McMichael have to be ready to step up.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
