The 32-year-old Backlund has started the year a bit quietly with six points, 33 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 17 contests.

Backlund scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. - Backlund was "demoted" to the third line, but his 17:34 of ice time Thursday was third-most among Flames forwards. The Swede has three goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating in 13 contests. His strong two-way play in all situations will keep him as a de facto top-six forward regardless of where he plays at even strength, though his offense probably hasn't been enough to interest fantasy managers. |
