That's while also being asked to play more of the tougher defensive minutes with the Backlund line while the Kadri line gets more of the cushy offensive minutes.
That line has been generating a lot of chances at 5v5 over the last 10 games but with no reward for it due to a 5.41% on ice shooting percentage.
Last night was easily his best game since the Dallas game on 11/30 (which was still his best game as a Flame IMO) but really the last three games he's shot more and has 11 shots over the last three games...after only having 4 total in the 7 games prior. So if he keeps shooting, and they keep generating chances as a line then points will come.

Its just like when a team is on a losing streak. They start to play well and don't get rewarded for it right away, but it comes soon enough.
