If you look back the game, look at the effort at 3:20 left when Toffoli makes a safe PP play behind the net. Backlund isn’t in position nor really hustles to try and get position or the puck, Dallas clears.
Next time up ice 15 seconds later, he watches the puck in no man’s land and doesn’t cover Andersson and then let’s Pavelski skate right past him, and takes another penalty because of his laziness. Just ridiculous.

Agree. So many slow or just completely incorrect plays tonight. A possession black hole, and that's the opposite of what his game is supposed to be. Had a few better plays in the 3rd though.
I actually thought the elbow was mostly an accident though, it was a forearm shiver to the shoulder but it rode up.
