Mikael Backlund produced a goal and two helpers to propel Vasteras to a 4-1 win versus Leksands in Sweden's second-tier league. The Calgary forward had a hand in the team's first three scores of the contest. St. Louis center Patrik Berglund scored the game-winner late in the second period. Backlund is eager to prove himself with Calgary, but the NHL lockout has put that on hold for now so he'll attempt to build some momentum for himself in Europe first.
