NHL Notes: Desperate Senators hoping to avoid elimination

Guy Boucher has typically kept his team off the ice on off-days during the postseason. The Ottawa coach opted for a half-hour practice ahead of Game 6 on Tuesday night to help his team "refresh" and "reload" after a 7-0 beating by Pittsburgh, one of the worst losses in team playoff history. The Penguins lead the Eastern Conference final 3-2 and can return to the Stanley Cup Final with a win.
