Nicklas Bäckström is getting married this weekend in Sweden
Nicklas Bäckström have a great summer. Capital’s legendary center underwent an out-of-season hip surgery that will have a major impact on how he ends his NHL career.
Backstrom’s next move is more family-related. Nicklas is getting married to his long-term partner, Liza Bergthis weekend in his home country Sweden.
We first got an idea of Backstrom’s upcoming wedding via Oshies. On Wednesday, TJ and Lauren Oshie documented themselves flying to Stockholm, Sweden, on their Instagram Story. Lauren posted an Instagram photo of herself on Thursday with the Swedish flag’s emoji as caption.
An invited guest at Backström’s wedding tells RMNB that the ceremony is this weekend after being postponed several years earlier due to the covid-19 pandemic. The ceremony is expected to be small and private.
The source did not know if any of Backstrom’s Capitals teammates will be present. Backstrom’s longtime partner on the ice, Alex Ovechkin, is currently on holiday in Turkey with his family, according to Nastya Ovechkina’s Instagram Story.
Nicklas and Liza have three children together, Haley, Vince and Alizee – their youngest who was born in 2020.
Congratulations, Nicke and Liza. We’re so happy for you two.
