David Backes got his 15th assist of the season on Tuesday. Backes has taken a mild step back offensively from his 2010-11 pace, but he's still a great player to own in fantasy leagues. Backes will help you in almost every standard category. He currently has 11 goals, 26 points, a plus-nine rating, and 40 penalty minutes in 39 games. If your league uses hits as a category as well, then Backes is even better with 114 recorded.
