Backlund reached a plus-2 rating to go along with a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Backlund had not recorded a plus-2 rating since Feb. 19, but he has reached that mark eight times this season, a respectable amount considering the Flames' struggles at times. The 26-year-old sits at plus-6 on the year, and should challenge his career-high of 39 points -- the center has 34 to date, including tallies in two straight.
