He's not "up" the lineup.
He's playing the amount of minutes needed to play the shutdown role on a team without any obvious current replacements.
If the Flames could convince opposing coaches to play the MacKinnon's of the world less we could decrease Backlund's ice time.
So far they haven't played along.
