Mikael Backlund has been activated off of the injured reserve list. The Flames did not release a formal announcement to that effect on their website, but their official team roster no longer lists him as being on the injured reserve list. The Flames made room for Backlund by sending Niklas Hagman to the minors after he cleared waivers on Friday. Backlund will play on a line with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay.
