Backlund scored twice and had an assist in Saturday's win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The three-point effort was just the first time in nine games Backlund had gotten on the scoresheet, giving him 17 goals and 42 points in 79 games. He's put up decent totals on the year, but the second-liner is just too inconsistent to be trusted in shallower formats. Considering he's streaky, Backlund could be worth getting in your lineup for these final three games after that multi-point effort.
