Backlund recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Backlund made a good play in the neutral zone to steal the puck, then found Johnny Gaudreau up the middle for the goal. The 33-year-old Backlund has earned six points in his last seven outings, giving himself some momentum heading into April. The Swede has 33 points, 175 shots on net and a plus-15 rating through 68 contests, so he'll likely push for the 40-point threshold by the end of the season.
