Would make it easier to schedule in a few more back-to-backs if they need to compress the schedule a bit due to other rescheduled games. (and avoid running into the olympics)

I'm someone that thinks the NHL season drags on for too long and I would love to see any measures implemented that can shave weeks off the season. For quite some time I've thought that 2-3-2 should be played for the playoffs and I'm even okay with best of 5 for round 1. Assuming that the workload is not overly taxing on the players I think you could do games 1&2 back to back, travel day, game 3, day off, games 4&5 back to back, travel day, games 6-7 back to back.
