So you're saying that when Tkachuk is away from Backlund, Tkachuk all of a sudden puts up a lot more points???
That's hardly a ringing endorsement for Backlund.
I like Backlund a lot, but he's been pretty poor offensively this year despite getting a lot of help from Tkachuk 5 on 5.
The team is struggling to score. Time to mix things up and see what happens for a while.
