I’m not arguing point totals aren’t linear. TOI has a greater influence than fatigue. You can’t except the rate to go down such a significant amount that the overall production decreases. There’s not a chance his overall production would decrease if you added 3 minutes to his ice time. And powerplay time on ice is not really affected by fatigue at all, which is 29 extra seconds per game.Point totals and ice time aren't a linear line. At a certain point, players gas out from too much ice time and their totals would probably go down, instead of up because they'd be floating to rest. That's what makes McDavid more unique, he's probably one of the best conditioned players that can handle that extra time without it negatively affecting him.
