I don't think scratching a player for poor play is stupid. That and I don't see how he (Backlund) would have matched up against a pretty good Leafs lineup. His icetime would have been very limited last game.
But to answer your question, I think Backlund should sit out again as he seems to be a hard learner. The team played arguably their best game of the season without him in the lineup.
He's in tough again tonight against a pretty good Wings team, will be interesting to see how he does and where he's matched up. He needs to score tonight.
Flames played well last game, we need a better game from Joey and he will deliver I believe.
Have to go with a Flames win 5-3.
