Niklas Backstrom turned aside 29 of 32 shots Thursday on his way to a 5-3 win over Colorado. Backstrom has been on his game of late as a 2-1 loss to the Ducks is the only blemish on his record over his past four starts. With a 12-7-4 record and impressive peripherals, the veteran has been a safe yet productive option in goal for many fantasy squads.
