The 2014-15 NHL schedule was released yesterday, and the news wasn’t great for the Maple Leafs (click to view the Leafs schedule).
Ok, i think I got this right now. Still unofficial, but I think it’s right. Rested/Tired B2B in 2014-15. pic.twitter.com/a2tMyuBn8T

(In layman’s terms, the Leafs get to play a tired team while rested only 5 times, but played a rested team while tired 14 times).
| Rank out of 30 | |
|---|---|
| Total back to backs | t-3rd |
| Games as rested team | t-27th |
| Games as tired team | t-3rd |
According to more of Gus’s data, out of a sample of 17220 games, a tired team’s winning percentage is .495 while a rested team’s is .596.
At least they’re in the East. Using a 4th line might be important in those tired back to backs.
