I think Lemaire wants in the playoffs, and he feels that the confidence is there with Backstrom more. Fernandez has been too shaky. Even Harding has played better of late.
Personally, I think Manny must be hurt more than anyone knows and they are putting up a front for morale purposes....then again, it could be Lemaire playing possum.

lemaire knows his hockey and has always gone with the hoot hand...he will play a guy 30 games straight if he has to untils he drains him, then looks to the next guy. Backstrom earned his time right now...fernandez will probably get a chance if baccky faulters.
