The Charts:

The Key Stat: Backstrom played just 47 of the team’s 82 games this season, hindered by a lingering hip injury that delayed the start to his 2021-22 campaign. That accounts for just 57% of the total games - the first time he’s been below 88% since a concussion kept him out for about half the year back in 2011-12.
