David Backes has been one of the top producers for the St. Louis Blues since 2008-2009. He’s amassed 454 points (204 Goals, 250 Assists) in his career with the Blues in ten seasons.
He has absolutely been a key player for the Blues and it hasn’t changed this season, as he has 39 points (19 goals, 20 assists) through 73 games right now. It might take a hot stretch to get Backes his third straight 50 point season, but he still has a pretty good season without the nice round number.
