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

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

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