It's so hard with Backs, he's clearly struggling through something and it shows. But then his line is out there doing such heavy lifting and really does seem to just bring the best out of whomever is with them.
Would it work having him anchor the "4th" line in some fashion? This is also to get Zary back to center too.
Huberdeau - Kadri - Coronato
Sharangovich - Frost - Pospisil
Farabee - Zary/Backlund - Coleman
Lomberg/Rooney - Zary/Backlund - Klapka
I love what Lomberg brings and I suppose the team/coach does too but I do wonder what that 4th line could look like with him in the box for a game or two.
Essentially in the above, you limit Backs' ice time a bit, and allow Zary to grow a bit too.
