Backlund netted his fifth goal of the season and added a pair of assists in Saturday's blowout win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Backlund has managed to be productive during the team's current six-game winning streak, racking up two goals and five points. The third-line center is up to 15 points in 31 games and has been of value in some deeper fantasy leagues. He's never been known for being a massive point producer, but he plays on the power play and is currently skating alongside youngster Matthew Tkachuk, so there's no reason to think he can't keep producing at a steady rate.
