A small sample size but Those are unreal numbers and it’s not like they are getting force fed offensive zone starts or playing exclusively with the Backlund line (20 minutes with Backlund so about a third of total ice time).
If they can keep anything close to that performance up, and if Brodie/Gio can play like they did tonight more frequently then this team will be set for our top 4 for sure.

They looked like that from Game 1 in china.
It was clear to me they would be a natural pairing as not only do they mesh well together, their styles and roles compliment one another.
Going to be a good pairing for a few years.
