Backstrom signed a one-year contract with HIFK of Liiga on Friday, SiriusXM NHL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Backstrom spent nine seasons with the Wild and leads the franchise with 194 career wins. The 38-year-old was traded to the Flames at this year's deadline, but made just four appearances between the posts. Considering the Flames were starved for goalie help this past season and still used Backstrom sparingly, one would think the veteran has played his last game in the NHL.
