Literally bad things don't happen when he's on the ice. Looking at his on ice shooting and save percentage he's just not getting bounces to be under water.
Given how Sutter was talking about shot attempt quantities and suppression I'm guessing he'll tell Backlund to keep doing what he's doing.

There have been a lot of plays lately where Backs is standing still/not engaging on the defensive side of the puck when things go bad.
May not show in the stats, but there's been some visible issues with him - which maybe explains the significant difference between his xGF%, xHDGF% and his actual GF% and HDGF%.
It's more than just bad bounces for Backs right now.
