Capitals' Backstrom undergoes hip resurfacing surgery

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom had surgery on his left hip
JUNE 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Undergoes hip procedure Backstrom underwent resurfacing surgery on his left hip Friday. There is currently no timetable for his return.
Impact Backstrom will reportedly face a "lengthy" recovery and it's unclear when the team will have a better idea of his return timeline. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff notes that former Duck, Ryan Kesler, underwent this surgery in 2019 and never returned to the NHL. Backstrom missed the first 28 games of the 2021-22 campaign with a hip injury and was limited to 47 appearances all season. The 34-year-old tallied 31 points while averaging 17:29 of ice time.

Sets up opening tally Backstrom recorded an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Backstrom set up Conor Sheary for the opening goal at 11:33 of the first period. It looked like that would be the only tally until John Carlson doubled the Capitals' lead with an empty-netter in the final minute of the game. Backstrom has earned three assists in his last six games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The center has 31 points, 66 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 44 appearances.

Washington plays Toronto, looks for 6th straight road win

APRIL 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returning Tuesday Backstrom (undisclosed) is slated to return Tuesday against the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact 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.

Eller scores, Capitals beat Bruins for 3rd consecutive win

APRIL 10 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not playing Sunday Backstrom (maintenance) is not in the lineup Sunday against visiting Boston.
Impact Nothing had been mentioned about Backstrom's status until a few minutes prior to pregame warmups. It sounds like the 34-year-old is simply taking a maintenance day to stay fresh for the postseason, so there isn't a reason right now to expect him to miss time beyond Sunday. Backstrom's first chance to return will come Tuesday at home against Philadelphia.
