Mikael Backlund, Michael Frolik, and Matthew Tkachuk cannot be stopped.
The "Triple-M" line paced the Flames again Tuesday, with the first of Backlund's two goals in 12 seconds holding up as the winner in a 5-2 decision over the Florida Panthers.
The three forwards combined for two goals and five assists, and Backlund led the way with three points. The 27-year-old is at 14 goals through 47 games, only seven off his career high of 21. His 32 points are 15 back of the career-high 47 he registered last season.
Frolik had 32 points in 64 games last season, and he's now collected 27 points.
Tkachuk, meanwhile, is having a stellar rookie season, with 29 points in 43 games as a 19-year-old.
