Kanes is second in the league behind Crosby. Draisaitl also has a very good backhander.

Kane has scored 43 goals on 309 backhand shots. Malkin has scored 28 on 289. So I'll say Kane

Where is the Draisaitl vote button???

So I would say Kane but it´s actually a coin flip.

Drai has the best backhand sauce in the league

I've seen Malkin do some dirty things on the backhand.

Brad Marchand never gets talked about for backhand when he's dwarfed everyone else in the league for backhand goals since he's come into the league. If you look at his backhand goal production before he broke out to become a consistent mid/high 30s goal scorer (2010/11-2014/15), he trailed only Eberle for backhand goals (25 for Eberle, 24 for Marchand). And then since he's broken out in 2015/16-2018/19, he's scored 32 backhand goals to 2nd place Barkov at 23 (Kane is in 3rd at 22, and Crosby 4th at 21).

Overall this decade:

There's obviously an element where he's using a backhand as a breakaway move, but he also has a deadly backhand that can beat goalies clean as well.

Why do people always add options that aren't in the poll question? Stop inserting your guys into polls that have nothing to do with them.

Thought that was Backstrom.

Where do you get that from?

Have those stats on Crosby?

NHL website, sort by "Shots by Type". Going back to 2010 (I believe thats when they started tracking it) Marchand is by far the best and most efficient scorer on his backhand with 56 goals on 194 shots which is 29%! Crosby has 45 goals on 333 shots for 13.5%.

 

[JoVel]

Crosby has 45 goals on 33 shots

Somehow I don't believe that.

 

[Lebowski]

Somehow I don't believe that.

His backhand is that good.

 

[StoneHands]

Somehow I don't believe that.

Some of them were 2 pointers in the Pro Beach Hockey league!
