Backstrom gave up three goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's win over the Bruins. A day after having the Rangers come back on them from 3-0, the Wild mounted a comeback of their own from down 3-1, and Backstrom held strong in the third period to be the beneficiary. Darcy Kuemper has outplayed him quite thoroughly in the early going, though, and it'd be highly unsurprising if the Wild were to go back to the kid Thursday against the Sharks.
