(Caps Outsider)
During Tuesday’s Caps/Devils game at Capital One Arena, the team played a tribute video for Nicklas Backstrom to celebrate his 700th career assist, which he accomplished during an otherwise forgettable 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Friday.
The video included cameos from John Carlson, Tom Wilson, T.J. Oshie, Alex Ovechkin, and Nicklas Lidstrom, the all-time Swedish assist leader.
The Caps will be giving him a gift, but it won’t be announced for a few weeks. For his 600th assist, he was given a gold puck, and a gold stick for his 500th.
