EDGE Analysis

Backlund got to the front of the net and poked in a pass from Blake Coleman for the go-ahead goal. The tally was Backlund's second in three games this season. That's a solid scoring rate after he was limited to 12 in 82 contests last season. The veteran center has added 11 shots on net, five hits, two PIM and a minus-1 rating while working in a third-line role.
