On a 47 point pace that 3rd best season of his career.
Age catches up to everyone, but Backlund is doing a heck of job of out running it.

The amount Backlund gets overlooked but this forum (and more so on social media) is insane.
Dude plays the toughest minutes of all forwards, with typically zero or very little PP time, yet still puts up solid numbers year after year.
He's also one of the Flames only forwards that actually makes his linemates consistently better. And he's played a key roll in the development of many of our young forwards by having these kids stapled to his line.
I really hope he plays his entire career with the Flames.
