Mikael Backlund plays with cracked bone
Mikael Backlund - C - Calgary Flames

Mikael Backlund did not miss a game with a cracked bone in his foot.
Backlund was injured on Friday and was seen after the game on crutches so it was naturally assumed that he would be out of action for a while. But x-rays revealed a cracked bone and not anything more serious so Backlund played 13:53 minutes. His three game point streak ended Monday but his teammates would have to admire his grit in playing with a cracked bone in his foot.
