3. NICKLAS BACKSTROM, WAS    +11
3. MIKE GREEN, WAS           +11

Backstrom is 5th in the NHL in assists.

A week ago Ovechkin was 141st in the NHL in points, he is now sharing the 8th place with 5 other hockey players. He is also 7th in goals scored sharing it with 19 other hockey players.

In the offensive leaders page on TSN counting top 5 in each category the Washington Capitals have more representation than any other team by Ovechkin, Semin, Green and Backstrom.
