Consulting recent history of Stanley Cup teams to examine how peculiar the Avs’ injury bug is. via BennettDurando
The line has blurred between correlation and coincidence, between bad luck and good reason.
“I think it can affect ,” Mikko Rantanen told The Post. “When you have a shorter summer, you don’t have much time to practice and get ready for another 82 games plus the playoffs. So for sure, I think that could be one thing. But it’s hard to tell. It’s hard to say what it is. It’s kind of weird that everything happens at the same time.”
There have been other cases of teams fresh off a Cup run getting infected by the injury bug — but not consistently enough to call it a surefire trend. We consulted recent history. Take the 18 teams that have made the Stanley Cup Final since the 2012-13 NHL lockout. From those teams, take the top six point producers who remained with the team for the entirety of the next season.
This is an imperfect exercise, but it’s enough to show a Cup run doesn’t guarantee an injury slog. What does seem to be the harsh reality is this: A successful team simply runs into that bad luck every couple of years. After the Dallas Stars lost a COVID-delayed Stanley Cup in September 2020, the ensuing shortened season was marred. Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov and Roope Hintz all missed chunks of time. The top six returning point producers were out 121 combined games.
