Backes recorded a goal and as assist Wednesday in a 6-1 win over Minnesota. He was plus-2 with one shot on goal and three hits in the contest. These were Backes' first points on the playoffs and not surprisingly they came after he was reunited on a line with T.J. Oshie and Alexander Steen, his linemates for most of the season. He will look to carry over this success to Game 5 on Friday at home.
