Wonderful recognition by Russell that Backlund was hurting, so jumped into the rush allowing the puck carrier an easy outlet and tip-in for a line change.
Otherwise the defender stands up on the red line and causes an odd-man rush as Backlund was slow to get to the bench.
Little plays like that; Russell is the real deal.
