That was my first thought when I glanced over the schedule. There doesn't seem to be a lot of practice time or days off...though maybe it's always been like that and it was only slightly more condensed last season after the lockout.
Last season: 66 games over 123 days - 1.86 games/day
This season: 82 games over 169 days - 2.06 games/day
Probably not the clearest metric to illustrate it, but oh well. It looks like the condensed schedule wasn't as extreme as it was made out to be. But any bit of rest helps.
