Backlund supplied a goal and assist in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers. That's back-to-back two-point efforts for Backlund in his first two games back from a lengthy absence following abdominal surgery. He's fired off seven shots during that span while seeing ample time on the Flames' top power-play unit, which might be significant enough to warrant a waiver-wire pickup.
