Backstrom finished without a point in a 7-3 loss to the Bruins on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Backstrom has only played four games this season and had not played since Dec. 31 (illness) before pulling on the sweater for this one. The 34-year-old center has not been able to establish much of a rhythm to this point, though he does have three assists in four contests. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the second half of the season.
