There was one shift where Backlund just lazily glided around, didn’t cover any of their guys and if not for Smith would have had a lovely look at a Vegas goal.

He’s been un-engaged a lot defensively, especially compared to last season. The 3M line has now become the 1M line. Backlund has been one of my biggest let downs of the season. Coming off last season I had very high hopes for Backlund, there were times last season where he looked like our no.1 center. This year he’s had stone hands and his finishing has been atrocious. He gets stuck constantly trying to cycle the puck and rarely gets into the slot. Not been a fan of his game at all
