Darryl Sutter would not allow Backlund to be exposed. He's Darryl Sutter's #1 center right now and we all know how much Darryl cares about centers. From what I've heard in interviews so far, Darryl has been asked about Lindholm and Monahan and he's responded with something along the lines of "has more to give" for both of them. Haven't heard much in the way of criticism about #11 from the coach yet. His minutes would also suggest the same as Backlund has played the most minutes of any center for 3 straight games now. Doesn't sound like someone who will be exposed at all, sounds more like Backlund will be #1 on Darryl's protected list.
