Johan Backlund (born July 24, 1981) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played one regular season game and one playoff game in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2009–10 season.

Playing career

On March 26, 2009, Backlund signed a one-year two-way contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.[1]

After the 2009 training camp he was sent to the Adirondack Phantoms as Ray Emery and Brian Boucher were slated to be the Flyers goaltending tandem for the 2009-10 NHL season. Backlund was called up briefly in early October when Brian Boucher was injured but did not play before being returned to the Phantoms. After a moderate start he earned his first shutout on North American ice against the Syracuse Crunch on November 1, 2009.[2]

On March 27, 2010, Backlund made his NHL debut against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He allowed 2 goals on 24 shots, but had to exit the game after 2 periods, having reaggravated a groin injury. The Flyers lost the game 4-1, and he got the losing decision.[3]

On June 11, 2010, Backlund signed a two-year contract extension with the Flyers.[4]

International play

Backlund played for the Swedish national team at the 2007 World Championship. In 6 games he had 4 wins and 2 losses, while Sweden finished fourth overall.
