Backes scores a goal in his olympic debut

February 17, 2010 By Bill Pollock

David Backes, one of two St. Louis Blues on Team USA’s roster made an impact in yesterday’s 3-1 opening game win over Switzerland. After team USA goalie Ryan Miller made a sprawling save, Backes picked up the rebound and skated end-to-end along the left-wing boards, beat a Swiss defender then cut toward the net tucking a shot past the Swiss goalies inside the left post. That came 5:52 into the second period and gave team USA at 2-0 lead at that point. Team USA will play Norway this Thursday at 2pm.
