Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on November 23, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Nicklas Backstrom! The man who’s spent more time assisting Alex Ovechkin than Google Maps has guiding lost drivers. Since joining the Capitals in 2007, you've been the steady Swedish wizard behind countless highlight-reel goals and unforgettable playoff runs. Your silky passes are smoother than IKEA furniture assembly instructions—and far less frustrating.

From hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2018 to becoming Washington's all-time assist leader, your career is filled with moments sweeter than Swedish cinnamon buns. Here's hoping your birthday is as legendary as your chemistry with Ovi—timeless, effortless, and always entertaining. Cheers to another year of hockey magic!
