Backlund scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Backlund's tally at 14:46 of the third period ended up being the game-winner. The center has added four shots on net and four PIM through two contests this season. Backlund often players a larger role than his middle-six assignment would suggest, as he's a part of the second power-play unit and sees regular penalty-killing time. He's a reliable depth center who can contribute around 40 points and decent shot volume.
