It's interesting to look at each team's split between favourable vs. unfavourable match-ups on the back-to-backs...
  • EDM = +10
  • NYR = +8
  • ARI = +7
  • LAK, ANA, CGY, NSH = +2
  • MIN, WSH, VGK, BOS, NYI, WPG = +1
  • MTL = 0
  • PHI, FLA, DET, CHI, TOR, TBL, PIT = -1
  • CAR, CBJ, SJS, STL = -2
  • BUF, OTT, DAL, COL = -3
  • NJD = -4
  • VAN = -8

22 of 31 teams between a +2 and a -2 difference. Only 4 teams with a split that's greater than 5 one way or the other.

Not only that, but one of Edmonton's "tired" games is a home back-to-back in January, so they don't even need to travel between games (another is a LA-Anaheim back-to-back, so again, no real travel between games).
