I mean you know it's coming... but you still can't stop it. Washington Capitals (@Capitals) The Capitals are 6-4-3 this year, good for 15 points and a tie for third in the Metropolitan division. They were tied with the Penguins heading into Wednesday, so the winner of this game can move up in the standings depending on what happens to the slew of other teams with 15 points. Backstrom had 50 a sists for the Capitals last year in their Stanley Cup-winning season, and his career-high is still 68 in the 2009 season. He's always been steady for the Caps, and he'll look to break 50 this season for the ninth year in his career. He's well on pace to doing so early in the year. Mattias Norlinder Jersey
