Backstrom made a really nice save on Kane in the shootout, and stopped all of the shots he faced other than in the shootout. We'll need him to play at a high level if they are going to do anything this year.
It was also good to see the 2nd line get on the board a couple of times!

Yeah it was. Bouchard looks like he's almost back to himself. We should have two other lines that can score other than the Koivu, Heatley, Parise line. I was really big on the Setoguchi trade last year but he hasn't played well at all here.
