Back notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Back helped out on the first of Mikko Rantanen's three goals, which sparked the Stars' third-period comeback. The 25-year-old Back has two assists over six outings in his first taste of playoff action. The fourth-liner has added one shot on net, three hits, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Back was bothered by an oblique injury earlier in the series, but when he feels well enough to play, he appears to be the preferred option for the last spot in the lineup over Mavrik Bourque. Both players could be out of luck once Jason Robertson (knee) is cleared to return.

Back (oblique) will return to action for Game 5 against Colorado on Monday, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back returns to action after missing Game 4 and will replace Mavrik Bourque in the lineup. The 25-year-old Back will no doubt be hoping to bring his 14-game goal drought to an end in Monday's matchup. During that slump, Back has recorded just nine shots and will likely need to increase his shot volume if he is going to put one into the back of the net, though that may continue to be tough to accomplish while playing on the fourth line.

Back notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Back was scratched three times over the last 10 games of the regular season, though he earned two assists over seven appearances in that span. The 25-year-old rookie is filling a fourth-line role while the Stars are without Jason Robertson (knee) to begin the playoffs. Back had 16 points in 73 regular-season outings, but it's his defensive play that will help him stay in the lineup during the postseason.

Back logged an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Back tied for the team lead in shots in this contest, which is a rarity for the fourth-line forward. He'd posted just six shots (one goal) over his first 13 outings in March and was a scratch in Saturday's game against the Kraken. The 25-year-old rookie has managed 15 points, 41 shots, 33 blocked shots, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 67 appearances this season.

Back scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Back cut the lead to 2-1 at 7:58 of the third period when he deflected a point shot past Andrei Vasilevskiy. He snapped a 14-game goal drought with the snipe. Back is deployed as a fourth-line winger, which limits his fantasy value. He has four goals and 10 assists with 36 shots in 62 games.

Back logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Back has a helper in two of his last three games. The Swedish forward continues to hold onto a fourth-line role for the Stars, and while that hasn't led to much offense, it shows the team trusts him to handle defensive duties. For the year, he's at 13 points, 30 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 52 appearances.

Back notched an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Back has two points over his last five outings. The 24-year-old has emerged as a strong defensive forward for the Stars in his rookie year. He hasn't been out of the lineup since Nov. 11, while fellow fourth-liners Colin Blackwell and Sam Steel have both been scratched in February. Even with consistent playing time, Back is not much of an asset for fantasy. He has 12 points, 29 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating over 50 appearances.

Back scored a goal in Friday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Back had two goals, nine shots on net and 11 blocked shots over 15 outings in January. The 24-year-old continues to hold down a fourth-line job, so it's no surprise that his offense is limited. For the season, he has 11 points, 27 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating across 46 appearances. He could be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once Mason Marchment (face) returns.
