Latest News
Backstrom picks up sixth win: Minnesota G Niklas Backstrom earned his sixth victory of the season and third win in his last four starts on Saturday, beating the Stars 3-2. Turco faced 21 shots, turning 19 of them away. His record improved to 6-8-0 with the performance.

Fantasy Analysis
Backstrom has struggled to get offensive support again this season, but the Wild managed to get 37 shots off on Stars goalie Alex Auld Saturday and scored three times. If the Wild offense can get going, it would greatly help Backstrom's Fantasy owners as he'd be able to pick up more wins. Until the offense performs on a consistent basis, Backstrom is just a low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy option. The Wild TG goes as Backstrom does.
