Senators coach Boucher wants his players to shoot the puck more often
OTTAWA — Guy Boucher has a simple message for his players: shoot the puck.
The Ottawa Senators coach has no complaints about his team’s overall performance, but knows the potential is there for greater offence.
After 11 games, the Senators (7-4-0) have scored just 29 goals. Ottawa had 18 goals over its first five games, but has just 11 in its last six.
Boucher’s challenge is to get his players to make the change from a pass-first mindset so they can get more shots on net.
