Martin St-Louis Makes Surprising Decision After Last Night's Game vs Flyers

In a training camp where schedules are usually packed and rest is rare, such a decision is quite unusual and does not go unnoticed.

After two preseason games in as many nights, including an emotional win against the Philadelphia Flyers last night, Martin St-Louis and his staff chose to give their players a break.

The statement confirmed:

We know that around this time, fatigue sets in quickly. I believe this could be very beneficial for the players.

In my opinion, this move by Martin St-Louis shows his desire to maintain a balance between intensity and recovery. Indeed, according to all reports, the players have had very intense practices.

By giving them a rest day, the coach likely wants to ensure that everyone stays energetic and focused moving forward.

It's also very good for injury prevention.

On social media, some are praising this modern approach that puts recovery at the heart of development, while others believe every day should be used to work even harder.

To me, it's a good decision. Modern hockey isn't just about effort anymore, but also about energy management.

One thing is certain: the team will be back to work tomorrow, with the players fresh and ready.
