Top Budget Plays
Centers
Mikael Backlund $3,200 – I had a tough time deciding of I should write about Backlund here or about Jori Lehtera. But I've written about Lehtera before and I am pretty sure he's already on most of your radars for budget plays, so I'll go with Backlund. The Flames Swedish center returned to action on the 7th at home against the Red Wings. He is slotted right now on the Flames 2nd line with Paul Byron and Curtis Glencross, certainly not an all-star supporting cast but that's where he is. Since returning from injury he has two goals and two assists in two games to go along with seven shots on net. Assuming the Canucks will focus a bit more on the Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler line, this should leave some easier matchups for Backlund. I like his chances to score again tonight.
