I think a lot of our penalties and injuries are at least partially because of certain players getting too many minutes. Guys are tired and taking shortcuts and we get burned for it. I think we have the depth now to avoid those situations.
The following players missed 4 games or less due to injury. They played a ton of minutes.
Buff
Trouba - holdout cost him games
Morrissey
Wheeler
Scheifele - got sick at one point
Ehlers
These high TOI players missed more.
Little - injured on 3rd shift of season
Myers - injured early in the season
Enstrom - also missed games for personal reasons
Laine - targetted head shot?
Perreault - one injury was from a Cory Perry slash to the hand.
Not sure a lot of this was "fatigue" related, at least for our top players.
