Backes tallied a power-play goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Backes scored for the first time in four games, and now has put up 20 goals on the season. The 31-year-old has certainly been quiet on the scoresheet in the last few games, but he has recorded 12 PIM and 18 shots on goal in the last seven games, giving him plenty of value here in the last few games of the season.
