One of each Thursday
Backlund scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Backlund's pair of points came in the third period. He set up a Zayne Parekh tally at 8:24 of the frame, then scored just over three minutes later. Backlund perhaps headed off some age-related concerns with eight goals over the last seven games of the season. Still, he had just 15 goals, 32 points and 175 shots over 76 outings this year. The Swedish center will be in a contract year in 2025-26.

Backlund set a new career high in 2022-23 with 56 points (19 goals) in 82 contests, but he dropped back to his norm last season, providing 15 goals and 39 points across 82 contests. At the age of 35, it wouldn't be surprising if Backlund doesn't surpass the 50-point mark again in his career. However, Calgary is likely to continue to give him big minutes -- he averaged 19:14 of ice time last year - which will prevent him from fading too much in 2024-25. He also has been the model of health, having played in each of the past 264 contests, so there isn't much to be worried about on that front. It would be reasonable to expect 30-40 points out of him this season.
