Backs is only the third player to hit 900 games played with the Flames, and the first Flames draft pick to do it. Iggy (Dallas draft pick) and Gio (undrafted free agent) are the other two.
Obviously, he is the franchise leader in games played by a player who has never played an NHL game for any other team. Jim Peplinski is second on that list with 711 games played, and Hakan Loob is third with exactly half as many games as Backlund, 450.
