Ottawa Senators: The Goalies Need Help

The Ottawa Senators have a problem, or at least a bigger problem than most.

Yes, in a season full of them, one issue stands out, and it’s the amount of shots the Senators allow each game. And those shots have an effect on the men between the pipes.

Senators goalies have faced 2,041 shots, more than any team in the league and almost 300 more than the league average (1,764) and their statistics have suffered. But there’s only so much the goalies can do, and while a save every once in a while would be nice, they can’t stop every shot when they are bombarded with them night after night.
