The NHL All-Star Game needs a serious re-think, but what changes could the league make to rejuvenate the tired format?
The Ottawa Senators have fired Troy Mann as head coach of the Belleville Senators, their AHL affiliate. "While a change at the head coach position during the season is not an ideal scenario, we felt it was necessary to deliver improved team performance," Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a news release. Mann had been Belleville's head coach since 2018 and is credited with helping the franchise's young players develop.
Of course, at the time we didn't know the Ottawa Senators were about to embark on a four-game winning streak, including three triumphs over division rivals, by a combined 16-6 score. It's hard to say there's been some monumental change to the way the Sens have been playing. Alex DeBrincat and Drake Batherson have chipped in a couple of points each as well. Not only have the team's top scorers been on a collective heater, but several depth players have been contributing to the cause as well.
