Backstrom and Wilson practiced on the 1st line with Ovechkin in a return to form, for a Capitals team that has been decimated by injuries at the end of last season. Fans will have something to look forward to in the future, as for now, this won't be the 1st line against the Ottawa Senators.
The injuries have exposed the lack of depth in the organization, as Sonny Milano, Connor Sheary, and Dylan Strome have been used to shore up a broken 1st line in these two players' absence. The sooner Wilson and Backstrom slot back in for the Capitals, the better.
