Yes forwards get tired but it comes down to ice time
If you notice a payer always getting tired just lower his ice time a little, nothing drastic, but you will find a balance where he isn't an issue
Sometimes knocking down a lines minutes by 1 can solve it... If he's on your first line, PP1, 3on3, PK1 then you might want to take him off some of those duties
Regardless, it's very easy to manage. But make sure he's getting tired consistently. Just because he got tired once doesn't mean he's playing too much
If he hits 94CD he will be exhausted and need to sit out a game, It's much harder to do than it is to prevent
If he is a 99CD, you don't have to change his minutes yet as he might be fully recovered after the next game. Wait till you see it's a problem
