EDGE Analysis

In his first game back from a three-game suspension the big winger was able to break his nine-game scoring drought with a top-shelf shot past the goalie. In his last 17 games, Backes has put up 10 points and created valuable depth scoring that the Bruins have been lacking to start the season.
