The series against the Washington Capitals is one sleep away from the Tampa Bay Lightning, here is a thought provoked preview of what could happen. [Raw Charge]
A big question for the Capitals going into this series is the health of Niklas Backstrom. He is one of the best playmakers of his generation. He missed game six against the Penguins with a reported upper body injury to his left hand. If there’s something broken in his hand, he could be out for a while. But obviously with it being the playoffs, the Capitals are going to be tight lipped about his health.
