Mikael Backlund Rejoins Lineup For Sunday's Matchup
4 years agoCalgary Flames forward Mikael Backlund (undisclosed) is good to go on Sunday against Toronto. The veteran forward missed Calgary's 3-2 loss against Edmonton on Friday and wasn't at Saturday's practice, but he took part in the team's optional morning skate on Sunday. Backlund is the team's fifth-best scorer this season with 19 points in 36 games, and he has fired off 95 shots and delivered 33 hits. The 31-year-old boasts eight power-play points for the year and could have some success here against a team that has managed to kill off only 77.7 percent of penalties.
