Senators’ skid — coach urges desperation (Ottawa)

• Ottawa Senators lost 3-2 to the Florida Panthers on Jan. 10, marking a four-game losing streak. Coach Travis Green urged more urgency: “There’s another level of desperation that we can play with… It’s taking a hit to make a play, beating a check to the net. We had a lot of pucks that we missed in front of the net.” Green called for the team to “bear down” both defensively and offensively.
