Backes scored his 13th goal of the season and had an assist in Friday's win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
A much-needed offensive outburst from Backes, who had gone six straight games without a point. The 31-year-old continues to skate on the first line and has managed 13 goals and 30 points in 57 games this season. He's not the 30-goal-scorer he once was, but with four power-play tallies and 55 PIM, he remains a decent fantasy option.
