Flames' Mikael Backlund: Continues march toward career-best campaign

Backlund scored a goal and added a power-play assist Thursday in a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Analysis:

He's been a remarkably steady presence for fantasy owners lately, picking up nine points in his last eight contests. Backlund is now just four points shy of last year's career-best 47, and with 21 games left on the schedule, he could very well make a run at 60. The 2007 first-round pick is finally growing into his pedigree.
