Despite missing morning skate, coach Bob Hartley indicated that Backlund will play in Wednesday's game against the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Backlund was the presumed question mark following the Flames' emergency recall of Freddie Hamilton on Wednesday, but it appears it's actually Sean Monahan that could miss the contest. It's possible things will change if Monahan misses the evening's game, but Backlund currently set to center the club's second line alongside Kenny Agostino and Michael Frolik, and should be deployed normally in fantasy lineups.
