I don't know if my team has just been the unlucky ones, but I have had atleast 1 player (at most times 2) with injuries for the majority of the season. These are top-line players that won't get a day's rest normally, but they seem to be having lengthy injuries. Is there a way to track injuries throughout the league and try to find a consistency, or am I just so unfortunate to have this occuring all season?
I consider myself relatively lucky, although I've only had 5 injuries, they have happened to some of my key players. Datsyuk and Kunitz had minor injuries, only missing a game or two but Phillips, Kariya and Krajicek were out for longer. Phillips missed 13 games, Krajicek (who is my main backup dman) has been out for longer.... I think injuries are random, not really any consistency, I know Chicago had major injury problems last year in FHL with their team, so it just might be your time...
Keeping players from exhaustion helps. Double shifting players for a long period of time can drain their condition. There are a lot more day-to-day injuries (by design), so a smart rotation of where and when your players play makes a big difference.
And then you also have the actual injuries, that are unavoidable unless the player is of Ironman status.
