We get one of these - Don't waste it.

Backes doesn't have any broken bones. Hitch said there's no set date for his return. He will go on West Coast trip and could play by the end

If Backes misses Wednesday's game in Anaheim, as expected, it would end his streak at 185 consecutive games played. #stlblues
FML. Right for my H2H playoffs.

This source says 'look for him to play Wednesday'

but I am not sure how reliable that is/ whether it is based on anything but pure speculation.
Any work on whether he practices today/ did yesterday appreciated.

Backes skating just fine today. So much for him missing any time.
Backes is a man-beast. Part man, part beast.
