Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom is in concussion protocol and out for Game 2 of their first-round series against the New York Islanders, head coach Todd Reirden said on Thursday.
Backstrom left in the first period of Game 1 of the series after a hit from Islanders captain Anders Lee.Lee was penalized for interference. "I tried to throw the brakes on a little bit there, but I caught him," Lee told reporters."The end result after that was a penalty, a couple of fights. It was settled and then the game continued on.". Lee also scored a third-period goal that tied the game.
“Playoff hockey should be right up Anders' wheelhouse, if you will,” Islanders head coach and former Capitals bench boss Barry Trotz said. “He's big. He's strong. He scored an important goal. He had a hit. And he responded to Wilson's challenge. What more can you ask from a leader.”
Oh boy...looking kind of bleak for Capitals. The NYIslanders look younger and faster. Let’s see if Ovechkin can pump a few one timers home and get the boys rolling. NHLPlayoffs hockeynews
