Even if he does hit a wall just rest him
Like others have said, I'm surprised it's not done more
In the NBA it's becoming commonplace now to give older players a rest on back to backs or 4 in 6's etc, but a guy like jagr or Iginla has no need to be playing in back to backs until March maybe
Maybe even rest them a few other times as well, or just have games where they move down the lineup and play powerplay time and then 5-10 minutes of even strength
