Generates helper Lucic notched a power-play assist, three hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

Impact Lucic provided the secondary helper on Mikael Backlund's power-play tally late in the second period. The burly winger also served a pair of minor penalties in the third -- lucky for him, the Jets went empty on both occasions. Lucic's primary impact will come from physicality, but he can also chip in with a little depth scoring, especially if he continues to draw assignments on the second power-play unit in a net-front role.

Tallies with man advantage Backlund scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

Impact Backlund's tally at 18:14 of the second period was the back-breaker for the Jets, as it gave the Flames a 3-1 lead. The Swedish center produced 45 points (10 on the power play) in 70 contests during the regular season, his fifth straight campaign to reach that level of overall production. Backlund's line with Matthew Tkachuk and Andrew Mangiapane should continue to provide solid secondary scoring in the playoffs.

Jumps onto ice Backlund (undisclosed) joined his teammates for Friday's practice session, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Backlund's absence from practicing was brief, so it's possible he was given a maintenance day, though details will be sparse this postseason. The Swede figures to anchor the second line for the Flames in the club's play-in series clash with Winnipeg alongside Matthew Tkachuk and Tobias Rieder.
