Backlund has a couple misconducts this season along with 16 PIMS he received against the Wings alone. Outside of that, I would say most of his calls are just over aggressive defending against the opposition’s best players.
Unlike with Sam Bennett and Dougie Hamilton, they lead the team with obstruction minors. Penalties like tripping, slashing and hooking drive me crazy and I hope these guys can tone it down going forward.
