Backes has four-goal night: Not even David Backes could explain what happened. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound winger scored a career-high four goals, including the go-ahead score with 4:07 left, in the surging St. Louis Blues' 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. "I don't know what happened," said Backes, who also had his first hat trick. "One of those games where you kind of black out and then they're patting you on the back." The Blues took a 2-0 lead in the middle period on Backes' first two goals. He opened the scoring at 6:02 when he slammed in a one-time shot from the slot off a pass from Brad Winchester, who was behind the net. Backes' second goal came at 9:26 when he put in a rebound off the back boards. Backes third goal restored the Blues' one-goal lead. He beat Ty Conklin from the slot after a mix up between Conklin and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson behind the Detroit net. Backes broke a 4-4 tie with his 30th goal of the season, scoring on a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle. "We felt that David had the potential to be a 30-goal scorer," Blues coach Andy Murray said. "But we didn't think it would happen here in Detroit."

Fantasy Analysis
Backes has been one of the Blues' top scorers in 2008-09. He was having a ho-hum season until injuries forced him to step up in December. He has posted 26 goals in his last 56 games. He broke 50 points for the first time in his career Thursday. Backes has become one of the NHL's better two-way players, so consider him a viable low-end Fantasy forward and flier in leagues that reward heavily for PIM and short-handed stats.
