Backstrom snaps skid
Niklas Backstrom - G - Minnesota Wild
March 31, 2011 - 11:25 PM ET

Niklas Backstrom made 33 saves in the Wild's 4-2 win over the Oilers on Thursday night.

The win snapped a personal six-start losing streak for Backstrom. The 33-year old Finn is usually one of the more reliable goaltenders in fantasy, however he was saddled behind a pretty poor Wild team this season. If the Wild can build properly through the draft, or through free agency, keep an eye on Backstrom going into next season.
