Backlund spent most of his icetime matched up against Krejci and Bergeron lines. And he dominated the possession matchup with Bergeron (corsi events were 6-1 Backlund in just over 3 minutes), which is no easy task as Bergeron is right up there with Toews, Kopitar and Crosby as one of the best possession centremen in the world. Krejci "dominated" Backlund though (2-11 also in 3 minutes), but he's also one of the better #1 Centers in the NHL. And Backlund's linemates were Raymond and Frolik. Bennett >>>> Raymond
Advance stats are a crap. I hope this is just a fad.
