Backlund (upper body) isn't expected to play Tuesday versus Seattle, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Scouting Report
Coaches love his work ethic, his skating ability and his willingness to play defense--all of which have followed him into his 30s. He is also an excellent penalty killer. His best offensive trait is his skill as a playmaker, but he needs to shoot more to keep opponents from dropping off him. Is ideally a third-line pivot but can play higher up in the lineup.
Long Range Potential: Veteran two-way center.
