Nicklas Backstrom is done talking about his hip. The Capitals now need his play to do the talking | |
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) Nicklas Backstrom is sick and tired of talking about his surgically repaired left hip. The Swedish center opened Washington Capitals camp saying he feels "way better" after a normal summer of training and different - in a good way - than a year ago when he was still recovering from his hip resurfacing operation. Only one other player in NHL history previously came back from hip resurfacing, and Patrick Kane is aiming to be the third. Backstrom, who turns 36 in November, insists the entire process and the injury that nagged him for quite some time is behind him and he's back to normal. MORE | |
