Backes scored the game-winning goal and added an assist Saturday against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

A strong fantasy night for Backes, who also dropped the gloves, earning himself a five-minute major. The 31-year-old captain has now scored in three straight games and is up to 17 points (nine goals) in 30 games on the year. His strong PIM totals, combined with his 20-30-goal potential makes him a solid all-around fantasy option.
