Management Travis Green [Head Coach]

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens are 2nd worst in scoring 5-on-5 with 80 goals ahead of only Nashville.
Somehow Columbus is 1st with 119.

Gotta fix that, Travis Green.

all their top players went dry at the same time .. blip I say

Does he, though?
Senators put so much pressure with their speed and transition that they can feast on PP time or just hope for lucky bounces.
If they beat Tampa Bay next week, Senators are pretty set in stone for the top 3 in Atlantic. The important thing is not allowing any goals. Eventually the offence will blossom, right around playoff time...

As great as their recent scoring has been, of their 11 goals in the last 2 games, only 2 were ES (both against Wild). The other 9 goals were 5 PP, 3 SH, 1 OT. There are a lot fewer penalties in the playoffs and the likelihood of getting shorties will be limited. Hopefully, the increase in special team scoring gives the players more confidence and leads to more ES scoring.

I was looking at Team Stats on MoneyPuck and it was pretty interesting.

We are bottom 5 in High danger and Medium danger shots for. We are bottom 5 in rebound shots for as well.

Then we are top 10 in low danger shots for.

We take a lot of shots but not from prime scoring areas. Our shooting % at 5 on 5 for shots on goal is 6.96% which is good for 31st. For comparison CBJ is at 10.02% which is a massive difference.

Just looking at these stats it looks like we could be much better offensively by tweaking a few things. Getting guys in front of the net, getting more shots from the slot, and being first on rebounds. I think our offensive game will round out. We just need to be a bit more truculent in the Ozone. We need to move the puck around quicker and make the other team get out of position.
