Nicklas Backstrom is optimistic he can play this season … Tom Wilson feels he’s ahead of schedule
Harvey Valentine of NHL.com: Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom continues to rehab after having his left hip resurfaced, with no timeframe on his return.
“I’m going to start off by saying I’m pain free,” the center said Thursday, the first day of training camp. “No more pain that I had before. I’m feeling good. I’m in the gym working out, doing my rehab. So far, so good. I’m very optimistic that I’m going to play before the season ends.”
Capitals forward Tim Wilson had reconstructive ACL surgery on his left knee last May 24th. He won’t be ready for the start of the season but is progressing well.
“I feel good,” Wilson said. “I feel like I’ve kind of been ahead of schedule per se since Day One, but that doesn’t mean much unfortunately. Obviously, I want to be as good as I can every day, but you’ve still got to wait.”
The initial recovery time for Wilson was six to eight months.
