So, Nicklas Backstrom is a wizard.
The Washington Capitals center has always been known for his passing ability, but he took it to another level with the pass above, to Alex Ovechkin.
He actually did it on purpose.
Ovechkin couldn't finish, and it was the second breakaway of the game on which he was denied by Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray.
But seriously. That pass.
