Backlund did not practice Monday morning and is a game-time decision against the Jets. Backlund's illness comes at an inopportune time, as the forward is coming off a hot month of January in which he collected five goals and five assists in 10 games. The ailment doesn't appear to be overly serious, as he's still a game-time decision, but owners should check for an update on his status prior to the opening faceoff.
