Backstrom (hip) is expected to spend the 2024-25 campaign on long-term injured reserve, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Tuesday. - Backstrom managed just eight games this year before being forced to miss the remainder of the season on LTIR. At this point, Backstrom's career appears to be over, with the center essentially riding out the final year of his contract. That being the case, Backstrom will eventually retire having played in 1105 games, all for the Capitals, in which he racked up 271 goals and 762 assists over the course of 17 seasons. |

Backstrom (hip), who announced last Wednesday that he's temporarily stepping away from hockey to focus on his health, was moved to the long-term injured reserve list Wednesday. - It was already expected that Backstrom would be out for a while, but this move helps cement that fact.

Backstrom, who underwent hip surgery in 2022 but has been playing this season, announced Wednesday he would be temporarily stepping away from hockey to focus on his health. Additionally, Backstrom has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site. - Backstrom cited his "injury situation," in his explanation for taking time off from hockey, but he didn't specify if his hip is the issue or if there is a different problem. The 35-year-old also didn't provide a potential timetable, but given the nature of the announcement, it seems fair to believe he will miss a decent chunk of time. Backstrom has an assist in eight contests while averaging 14:34 of ice time this year, and if he's been playing injured, that would explain his lack of production and limited role. Hendrix Lapierre, who was recalled Sunday, might play regularly during Backstrom's absence. |

Backstrom has no points and has managed a minus-3 rating and 10 shots through the first five games. - The Capitals are struggling overall, but Backstrom is averaging the lowest ice time (15:54) of his career, has been removed from the top line, and was recently moved off the top power-play unit -- for Dylan Strome in both respects. The 35-year-old is bound to start going again and this slump could be the residual effects of his recovery from the hip resurfacing surgery he had in 2022, but fantasy managers are bound to be spooked by the early returns. |

Backstrom scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 2-1 win over Boston. - It was his second power-play snipe in his last three games. Backstrom has six points in 11 games since his return from offseason hip surgery. Just beware his plus-minus -- he has been burned with a minus-seven rating over his last seven games.

Backstrom recorded an assist against the Flyers on Wednesday, his first point of the 2022-23 campaign. - Backstrom is just two games back from a long-term injury absence and was able to open his point account Wednesday.

Backstrom (hip) will make his season debut against the Blue Jackets on Sunday. - Backstrom has come a long way since undergoing offseason hip re-surfacing surgery to return from an injury that was speculated to keep him out of the lineup for most of the season. The 35-year-old is likely to reclaim his spot in the top six and on the top power-play unit, but line combinations are still in flux with Tom Wilson (knee) also a possibility to return to action as early as Sunday. Fantasy managers should keep short-term expectations in check as Backstrom will likely need some time to shake the rust off given his lengthy absence, but get ready to plug him into your lineups. |

El-Bashir adds that Backstrom won't be doing anything strenuous once he's back on skates, so he remains in the early stages of his recovery. The 34-year-old center is not expected to return before January, and it's a difficult procedure he's coming back from, so his status for the season will depend on how he progresses as he adds more stress on his hip. |

Backstrom underwent resurfacing surgery on his left hip Friday. There is currently no timetable for his return. - Backstrom will reportedly face a "lengthy" recovery and it's unclear when the team will have a better idea of his return timeline.

Backstrom scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 win over the Devils on Saturday. - Before the game, Backstrom was honored for reaching 1,000 NHL points, and that inspiration may have fueled his great game.
