When healthy, he completes what Coach Barry Trotz called a “two-headed monster” with him and Nicklas Backstrom as Washington’s top centers. That’s the key for us.”Though he didn’t score any of the goals, Backstrom was voted the night’s “first star,” and Trotz thought he was the best player on the ice. He snapped it past Price to give the Capitals their first lead 14:49 into the game. Then with less than two minutes left in the period, Backstrom again fed Wilson in the high slot for a goal.
