Backstrom (upper body) is a game-time decision for Game 2 against the Lightning on Sunday, Brian McNally of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Barry Trotz pegged Backstrom with the game-time label, but all signs point to him sitting out again. Backstrom didn't take line rushes or participate in the power play during Sunday's morning skate, and the 30-year-old pivot also stayed on the ice late with the scratches. If Backstrom is indeed out, Lars Eller will continue to man the second line in his place.
