Backstrom snapped a brief two-game scoreless skid with a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's win over Tampa. And with that, he bounces back up to an even point-per-game pace -- 27 in 27. On the down side, 22 of those points are assists, so Backstrom's currently on one of the worst goal-scoring paces of his career. This is highly reminiscent of the lockout-shortened 2012-13, in which he delivered a point per game over 48 contests, but scored just eight times.
