Yeah, Backlund has been the weak link on that line, for the last while. But he has always been a second half guy. He has also had the new burden of wearing the C, and the team has struggled, making it heavier. I think he'll be fine, going forward.
Huberdeau continues to improve, and Coleman is playing really well, so I expect Backlund, and the line, to steadily improve.
