Coach Mike Yeo said that he expects to start Backstrom in goal Sunday against the Jets, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Darcy Kuemper probably needed to shut out the Stars on Saturday in order to earn himself both starts of the Wild's weekend back-to-back, and he narrowly did just that, stopping 27 of 28 shots in the victory. However, Kuemper had performed miserably prior to that, so it seems likely that Yeo will rest him in favor of Backstrom, who was magnificent in relief of Kuemper his last time out. He stopped 25 of 26 shots Thursday against the Sabres, leading the Wild to a come-from-behind victory. Look for Yeo to confirm Backstrom as Sunday's starter prior to pregame warmups.
