Tonight, Backlund had his linemates bumped up from McGrattan and Jackman to Blair Jones and Lance Bouma and he managed an assist.
There is a role of Backlund on this squad, and unless the return is high, we are worse without him.
2:30 SH time, 4 hits, 1 assist, +1
He's old news with Baertschi and Monahan and that's one reason why people are so uptight about him.. but he's still worthy of being on this roster.
