Thought that this breakdown of travel was pretty cool. Of note to me: how did Vancouver only play 5 back to back games in 2010-11 and 2 in 2011-12 when the league average was 17 and 15? This coming year it will be 17 for them. On the opposite side of that coin, Carolina had a crazy amount of back to back in 2010-11 with 33. Why is that? If you look at the past 2 full seasons you see that this number varies by a much greater margin among teams than it will in 13-14. At least they seemed to have gotten that figured out. The amount of travel is interesting too. Detroit will do less travelling in the coming season than they have in at least the last 6 years, according to the writer of the article, despite the inclusion of the Florida teams in their division. Overall, it seems like the Rangers have the easiest schedule in the league, at least going by travel/ back to back games. Also of note to all you Flyers fans, despite travelling quite a bit more the last full season and this coming season than in 2010-11, the number of back to back games has also dropped significantly, less than half what it was in 2010-11.
