Nicklas Backstrom was unable to play in Game Four due to an injury. But that’s okay, he still made an impact by being an active participant who sat in the stands of the Scotiabank Arena, lived and died with every play.

With the Capitals down 2-0 in the first period, Backstrom fiddled nervously with his hat after Semyon Varlamov stopped Lars Eller from point-low range late in the period.

In the second period, Backstrom clapped and shook his fist in happiness, when Evgeny Kuznetsov finally got the Capitals on the board.
