Backes netted his 14th goal of the season and had an assist Saturday against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old continues to skate on the top line and now has 32 points in 61 games. He's having a down year offensively, but he still remains valuable in fantasy with his decent goal total and 59 PIM. Look for Backes to build off his two-point effort Saturday, as the Blues are rolling and have won five straight games.
