Nicklas Backstrom is resuming his hockey career back in his native Sweden with Brynas IF after missing all of last NHL season because of a nagging hip injury.
The Swedish club announced Monday that Backstrom was signing there to play this coming season. The 37-year-old center\'s NHL contract with the Washington Capitals expired this summer.
\"I have always felt that I would like to represent Brynas again someday if the opportunity arose,\" Backstrom said in a statement about rejoining the organization where he started.
