I have been wondering if fatigue is a factor in NHL hockey games, especially in back to back games (I am a fan of the NBA and I assume there are back to back games in NHL since its season structure is very similar to that of the NBA). When you read game recaps, do you come across analysis and players' comments on fatigue and back to back games, low scoring, etc?

I'm sure there's fatigue from back to backs just like every sport. Less so in football but I'm sure the teams playing on Thanksgiving in the NFL are fatigued from playing Sunday and then playing again on Thursday.
