That an interesting one, Backstrom over peak Ovechkin on the same team.
Alex Ovechkin that year had a ridiculous 70.4% GF at even strength:
Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick
+51, on the ice that year by 60 minutes
Ovechkin
GF: 4.4
GA: 1.85
Backstrom
GF: 4.28
GA: 2.42
Virtually same deployment zone start wise, similar opposition (80%+ of Ovechkin time was with Backstrom on the ice with him) :
Nicklas Backstrom - Opposition - Individual - Natural Stat Trick
Alex Ovechkin - Opposition - Individual - Natural Stat Trick
That could be mostly due to Backstrom having to play without Ovechkin in the line up while the other way around didn't occur that year, but Ovechkin GF% when seperated from Ovechkin goes nearly to 80% while Backstrom when he played without Ovechkin when down to 50%.
Should seem a bit of a strong word.
