If you want to see a better power play, you'll probably have to wait until Zary is back in the lineup.
I don’t think it’s really that important to have a centre on the PP. its only the faceoff where it is important and that’s 50/50 and Backlund isn’t that great on it.

It’s a different game on the PP, the normal responsibilities of a centre are not required. You should just have your most skilled and offensively creative players out there.

I think Backlund is a great two way centre but his skills are just not suited for the PP.
