Capitals' Backstrom will miss 2nd game with upper-body injury

Nicklas Backstrom (upper body) will not play Saturday against Arizona, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Backstrom will miss his second straight game with the ailment, but is not expected to be out long -- although that is of little comfort to fantasy owners counting on him for their playoff run.

Marcus Johansson is again expected to receive top-line duties in Backstrom's absence should you require a replacement.
