This also gives him a 7 point lead in the Art Ross race over Huberdeau. 2 games to go for Florida and the Oilers. It’s possible neither McDavid nor Huberdeau play all their remaining games.
If McDavid wins his 3rd Art Ross this year, that will also pass Crosby’s two.

Based on what Gretzky said today on Stauffers show or what Strudwick's been saying, unless McD or Leon are nursing an injury, in my opinion, no way they don't play both games. I could see the coach scaling back their minutes some. They each played just over 19 mins last night. I'd scale that back a few mins. Make take Leon off the PK so he's not taking a shot off a foot. But I'd think they'd both want to keep their mojo going especially McD who's flying.

Theres just not a lot to play for anymore. Our position in the West is set. We can’t gain or lose anymore seeding there. Hypothetically we could still lose seeding against Washington or Pittsburgh should we meet them in the cup finals.
Matthews has more or less secured his Richard over Leon. The Art Ross looks pretty safe for McDavid.
Rumors of game 1 on Monday, which is a very short break. I’d think hard about sitting them. We already saw close calls with Leon and Nurse in recent weeks.

I think you have a conversation with them but if they are good to go, and more importantly WANT to play so they keep going and their game is feeling good, I don't think any coach is going to insist their superstar players sit out just because.
