Backlund is criminally underrated for his defensive play league wide.
Let’s look at Goals allowed (Non PP) during the whole season:
Backlund - 39
Vs Selke Candidates:
Bergeron - 47 (in 12 less games than Backlund)
O’Reilly - 55
Crosby - 78
Stone - 66 (understood that he played most of the year on an awful team)
Barkov - 92
