Report: Nicklas Backstrom Has a Broken Thumb

In his post-game column following last night’s Caps win over the Penguins, ESPN’s Scott Burnside noted that Nicklas Backstrom‘s “left hand [was] still smarting from a Kris Letang slash.” Backstrom took exception to the stickwork at the time, and for good reason – it appears as if Letang’s whack injured the Caps pivot. Per Aftonbladet:

Backstrom, who finished the game, hasn’t yet missed a match in his NHL career and the Caps can ill-afford to lose him now, especially given the team’s lack of depth down the middle.
