They [the Ottawa Senators] are giving up a lot of shots, but sometimes a lot of shots, if they’re not inside, don’t mean a lot anyways.
As we all know, the Senators have had an awful season in terms of preventing shots. They currently allow a league-worst 34.1 shots per game, 1.3 more than the second-last Flyers, while only taking 28.7 shots per game, good enough for 22nd. That -5.4 shot differential per game is the league-worst by 1.7 shots. Typically, allowing five more shots per game than you take isn't a recipe for success.
