Backlund scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. Backlund ultimately got the credit on the Flames' game-winner, as he was judged to get the last touch during a net-front scramble. The center has two goals over five outings in January, and he's produced seven points over his last 12 contests. That's a pretty standard level of production for Backlund, who is at 19 points, 112 shots and a plus-7 rating through 42 appearances this season.... See More ... See Less

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Nets lone goal in loss
Backlund scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. Backlund got the Flames on the board late in the second period, but a comeback push never materialized. The 35-year-old center snapped a three-game point drought with the tally. He's up to eight goals, 18 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 39 appearances, primarily functioning as a second-line center.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Buries power-play goal
Backlund scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. Backlund restored the Flames' lead at 6:50 of the second period, and his goal was the game-winner. The 35-year-old center is warming up with three goals, two assists and 16 shots on net over his last five outings. For the season, he has seven goals, 17 points (four on the power play), 98 shots, 20 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 35 appearances. Backlund can be a decent depth center in fantasy when his offense is going, but he may be best utilized as a streaming option.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Finds twine in win
Backlund scored a goal on six shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks. Backlund has four points, 13 shots on net, six blocked shots and eight PIM over his last four games. The center typically isn't a great source of category coverage, but he can usually chip in some offense. For the season, the 35-year-old has six goals, 10 assists, 95 shots on net, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 34 outings.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Picks up assist
Backlund logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins. Backlund has five points over seven outings in December. The 35-year-old center helped out on a Matthew Coronato tally in the second period. Backlund is up to 15 points, 85 shots on net, 19 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 32 outings. He's on pace to push for 35-40 points once again while staying steady in a top-six role.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: One of each in win
Backlund scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers. The third-period goal was Backlund's first tally since Nov. 11. He had just three assists over the 14 games between goals -- the Flames' low-scoring offense has left few points to go around this season. Backlund is up to five goals, nine helpers, 84 shots on net, 19 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 31 appearances. The 35-year-old continues to be important to the team in all situations, so he will log big minutes whether he generates offense or not.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Supplies pair of helpers
Backlund notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets. Backlund set up Rasmus Andersson's power-play goal midway through the game and also fed Yegor Sharangovich for the empty-netter. This was Backlund's first multi-point effort since Nov. 11 versus the Kings -- over the nine games in between, he was limited to one assist. The veteran center is up to 12 points (three on the power play), 64 shots on net, a plus-6 rating, 17 hits and 11 blocked shots through 26 appearances in his usual top-six role.... See More ...

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Late goal in loss
Backlund scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators. Backlund ended a five-game point drought with a tally in the final minute of the third period. The 35-year-old center racked up 18 shots on net during that slump, so it hasn't been for a lack of trying. He's up to five goals, 10 points, 61 shots, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating over 22 appearances in a middle-six role this season. That's in line with Backlund's usual level of offense -- he can be penciled in for roughly 40 points a year.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Two points in Monday's win
Backlund produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings. The 35-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the second period en route to his first multi-point performance of the season. Backlund is supplying his usual reliable secondary scoring so far in 2024-25, and through 16 contests he's delivered four goals and nine points. He's also been a little more selective with his shots -- he's on pace to record fewer than 200 shots on net for the first time over a full season since 2019-20, but his 10.5 percent shooting is his highest mark since 2016-17....

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Scores late in shootout loss
Backlund netted a goal in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres on Saturday. Backlund scored the game-tying goal at the 15:42 mark of the third period to get the Flames a point in the standings. His third tally of the season ended a six-game goalless drought. Backlund has supplied seven points through 15 outings this campaign.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Gathers helper in loss
Backlund had a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. Backlund ended a three-game slump with the secondary helper on Anthony Mantha's second-period tally. The 35-year-old Backlund has earned six points, including two on the power play, over 12 contests in a top-six role this season. He's added 24 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating. Backlund's averaging just two shots per game this season after being above 2.5 shots per game in each of the previous four campaigns, so the Swede's offense could be at risk of dropping....

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Scores in Saturday's loss
Backlund scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets. Backlund has a point in four of his last five games. The 35-year-old center is off to a decent start in 2024-25, earning two goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, six hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over eight contests. He continues to play an important two-way role for the Flames, though his usefulness in fantasy is often limited to deeper formats since center is a position of abundance around the league....

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Provides power-play helper
Backlund recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken. Backlund is up to three points over five contests this season, offering steady offense as well as his usual two-way play to begin 2024-25. The center set up linemate Blake Coleman's power-play marker late in the first period. Backlund has added 10 shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while seeing big minutes despite playing on the Flames' listed third line.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Sets up empty-netter
Backlund recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. Backlund set up Matthew Coronato's empty-netter to secure the Flames' fourth straight win. The 35-year-old Backlund has a goal, an assist, seven shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over four contests this season. He's playing big minutes despite essentially serving as a shutdown center on the Flames' nominal third line, though his offense is likely a little too limited to make him a fantasy option at this point in the season.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Finds twine in win
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.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Nets goal Friday
Backlund scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason loss to the Jets. Backlund also won 10 of 11 faceoffs as the Flames dominated at the dot. The 35-year-old has a goal and three helpers over four preseason outings. The captain was limited to 39 points over 82 appearances in 2023-24, and he's unlikely to do much better than that while filling a middle-six role on a rebuilding team this year.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Gathers assist Sunday
Backlund posted an assist in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes. Backlund snapped an 11-game point drought when he helped out on a Yegor Sharangovich tally in the second period. It's unusual for Backlund to struggle at this time of the year -- he's typically a second-half player, but he did most of his scoring in the first half of 2023-24. The center is at 39 points, 205 shots on net, 68 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 80 appearances, with just 14 of those points coming since the All-Star break.... See More ...

Flames' Mikael Backlund: Good to go
Backlund (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. Backlund was listed as a game-time decision earlier Saturday, but it appears he's good to go without missing a contest. The 35-year-old will hold down his usual top-six role with wingers Blake Coleman and Yegor Sharangovich. Backlund has no points over his last seven outings.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Game-time decision Saturday
Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan, Backlund (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Edmonton on Saturday, though coach Ryan Huska said, "my gut is he'll play." Backlund has regressed from his career-high 56 points last season, recording 15 goals and 38 points in 75 contests this year. He is mired in a seven-game point drought. Backlund is expected to center Blake Coleman and Matthew Coronato, if he is able to play.... See More ... See Less -
Flames' Mikael Backlund: Generates assist in loss
Backlund logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. Backlund is up to eight points over nine games in March. He set up a MacKenzie Weegar tally in the third period of Monday's defeat. Backlund is up to 38 points, 187 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-6 rating through 68 outings this season. He's essentially functioned as a top-six option all year, though he was often listed on the third line before the Flames' roster was thinned out by trades.... See More ... See Less
