The Washington Capitals just announced that their forward Nicklas Backstrom must leave the team urgently to take care of his health and injury.
For Montreal Canadiens fans, this recalls what happened with Paul Byron. Nicklas Backstrom loves hockey and is trying to continue, but his body is failing him.
A sad situation, but one that is out of his control.
