Nicklas Backstom got third star with two assists against the New York Rangers on Monday. He also moved into third on the Capitals all-time points list.
But his best moment of the game came as he was heading down the tunnel. After spotting a young fan wearing his jersey he did a double take, backtracked, and gave the kid his stick.

Look at how overjoyed that kid is. He just had his life made.
You’re one of the good ‘uns, Nicklas Backstom.
