Regular Season:
Playoffs:
Key Stat: Backstrom finished the season with 52 assists, marking his sixth-consecutive season with at least 50 assists - making him just the 26th player in NHL history (and only the second active, along with Joe Thornton) to accomplish that feat.
The Good: You’d be hard-pressed to find a more consistent presence on the Caps’ roster - or in the NHL as a whole - over the last 10+ seasons than Nicklas Backstrom, and he was back at it again in 2018-19.
