McDavid: Tough to replicate skatingIt's tough for players to replicate skating during the NHL's pause, according to Connor McDavid.
Advice: The players are working out at their home gyms, but they aren't really able to hit the ice. "It's always tough when you're off the ice for a while when you've got to come back because you can't replicate the type of cardio that you need to play hockey and you can't really replicate skating at all," McDavid said. "You can run as many stairs, or bike as many whatever on your spin bike as you want, but you can't replicate it at all. Going through the injury last summer, I was off my skates for a long time. It's looking like we're going to be that type of situation here, so maybe I can lean on that experience a little bit." Rotoworld.comConnor McDavid Edm - C -
Auston Matthews would love to continue goal raceAuston Matthews would love a chance to continue battling it out in the NHL goal race.
Advice: Before the NHL season was paused due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, Matthews was battling with David Pastrnak and Alex Ovechkin for top spot in the league in goals. "It's pretty cool and humbling to be in the same conversation as a guy like [Ovechkin]," Matthews said. "Being in a scoring race with a guy like him, he's been a generational player and he's made a big impact beyond the game and led the way for lots of players and lots of guys. It's humbling, and hopefully we can get back to playing hockey and can compete again, that's what everyone wants to do." However, he acknowledged that there are much important things going on in the world that have to be settled first. Still, Matthews hopes to get back on the ice this year because he feels there is "unfinished business" when it comes to the regular season, the race for the playoffs and some personal goals.

"He's not going to be back for this season, but the whole plan was to be ready when the season starts next year, and it certainly looks like we're on course for that." Pesce has been sidelined since Feb. 22 and won't play if the 2019-20 season is able to resume play. Rotoworld.comBrett Pesce Car - DInjured Reserve -
