But that isn't to say it's all Backlund. Coleman is twice the player (three times?) defensively.
Agee with that.

And really I don't want to make it all about Huberdeau vs. Coleman. More to the point, Flames have had one line that has been excellent all year. It is reflected in all of their statistics. They all get credit, particularly Backlund and Coleman.

Huberdeau, no matter who he has been put with, just hasn't been good. And it shows up in mostly any number you look at.
