I am a little concerned about Backlund right now. He is clearly a lot more important to the offensive success of the second line than a lot of people are willing to credit him for, and to me he has looked pretty bad compared to how he looked during the win streak. Hopefully the three day break helps him recuperate enough to regain what he had going a couple weeks ago.
