Backlund has taken 931 faceoffs this season.
He would need 466 wins to break even.
He has 442 wins.
This means he is underwater by a total of 24 faceoffs over 67 games.
I just want to be clear that the people who are talking about Backlund's faceoff performance as if it's a major factor on the ice are talking about him losing a single extra faceoff about once every 3 games or so.
one faceoff every 3 games is a complete non-issue.
