That's exactly what I've been wondering too this year. From all his games and highlights I watched of Johnny before entering the nhl this season his backhand was one of my favourite aspects of his skill.
I especially loved when he would cut across from left to right and throw a backhand top shelf against the grain on the goalie's blocker side.
Now I notice almost always he goes for the backhand five hole which hasn't worked too often for him this year. Although last night he finally got a nice backhand goal off the post on Gibson so I hope that's a sign he will begin to use it more often.
