Congratulations, Nicklas Backstrom, on 500 Career Assists

Congratulations to Caps center Nicklas Backstrom for reaching the 500 assist milestone. Backstrom, who is already Washington’s all-time assist leader, assisted on T.J. Oshie‘s first period goal against the Senators on Saturday.

Among other Swedish players, Backstrom is already in the top 10 for assists. He’s the second fastest Swede to hit that mark behind Peter Forsberg, and third fastest behind active players, behind Jaromir Jagr and Sidney Crosby.

Here is a list of every player Backstrom has set up for a goal or two.
