Backstrom had a power-play assist in Friday's 4-3 OT win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The Swedish pivot has had a blistering start to the 2017-18 campaign with three goals and 12 points in eight games -- placing him near the top of the league leaderboard for the Art Ross Trophy race. He may not keep up at this incredible pace all season, but he's a reliable playmaker and a must-start every night.
