Backlund notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

After a scoring change gave Matthew Tkachuk credit for the Flames' fourth goal, Backlund earned the secondary helper on the play. The 32-year-old Backlund has produced 29 points, 136 shots on net and 28 PIM through 51 contests this year. He'll likely finish the season in a second-line role with Sean Monahan (hip) shut down for the year. The advanced role could give Backlund extra appeal in DFS.
