MONTREAL — When the Washington Capitals come to town, a crowd forms quickly around 22-year-old scoring star Alexander Ovechkin. Not far away, left in relative peace, sits Nicklas Backstrom, the 20-year-old rookie who picks up many of the assists on Ovechkin's often spectacular goals. As a duo, they promise to bring misery to NHL goaltenders for many years to come.
