Backlund is phenominal at doing the little things. Often times this type of play goes unnoticed but he is an extremely effective player and will chip in offensively from time to time. He is an ideal 3rd center and he will be that guy for us. Give him time. Bouma has been useless this season and a complete anchor on that line. Give Backlund someone to pass the puck to and he will get in a groove.
