Somebody explain to me like I'm 5 why Bednar always has MacKinnon and Rantanen out down 3 goals with 1 minute left in games with their goalie pulled?

Is is strictly to try and allow them to pad their stats? Bizarre.

Bednar really only has one productive line, so not much of a choice. Sort of like how McDrai always gets put together when the Oilers are down.

Same reason McDavid and Draisaitl played almost the entire last 3-4 minutes against Florida tonight, to try and win the game.

Bednar likes to run Mack, Makar and Rantanen into the ground. The play 22+ minutes a night unless the Avs have a big lead. Which is why they're usually burnt out by February.
