It doesn't get much more even than that, so that is not the issue. I've seen teams play 40% line 1 and 50% first pair D with no problems. My splits are very similar to yours. When players get tired I'll usually adjust special teams as needed.

I suggest instead of benching players for being in the blue, perhaps re-adjust their Ice-Time, such as moving a player on the PK First line down to the Second if they are not necessary. I tend to go with an 20 Man Roster. I highly recommend tailoring the Training to Goaltenders, if you have a Workhorse, take it easy on him, and his back up push him hard to stay in shape. With Defense I recommend going all Hard Defensive Training, to keep your Older guys sharp on the Defensive end of their game. Forwards you have to make the Distinction for yourself. Well I hope that helps.

I'm afraid your situation can't be easily explained. Think it's a bit of randomness and bad luck at a bad time in the season. I noticed some of the skaters that were injured had low-ish endurance, but nothing out of the ordinary for your league level - and you definitely aren't overplaying them. Your goalies also seem to have a nice rotation. If you or your opponent were playing Hard or Dirty it might explain things a little more, but I have no insight into that. As far as what leads to players getting injured more frequently in the game, there are numerous factors. - Injury proneness of the specific player - Player fatigure... players being exhausted are more at risk of suffering an injury. There's a few things that impact player fatigue... too much ice time, low endurance, training intensity. - You or your opponent playing Hard or Dirty
