The Avs are battered and blistered and barely hanging onto life as the sweet release of a long offseason beckons. Nobody needs recharge time more than the superstars, whose usage has reached unprecedented heights. But Jared Bednar refuses to allow Nathan MacKinnon to leave the ice between shifts long enough for the season to flash before his eyes.

MacKinnon played 25 minutes in a regular-season game 13 times in the first nine years of his career. This season, his 10th, he doubled his career total with 13 more.
