EDGE Analysis

Backlund helped out on a Johnny Gaudreau goal late in the third period. Offense has been sporadic for Backlund this season -- his assist Sunday snapped a six-game point drought. He's up to four goals and six helpers through 30 contests overall. The Swede has typically put in stronger performances in the second half of the season, but fantasy managers will likely want to wait for him to show more offense before rostering him.
