The overall split went from 47.8% to 51.2% so an improvement.
But why are they generating so little across both coaches? It is the same players.
Both shooting percentage and save percentage is up under Ward, as was likely considering how little luck/bounces the team was getting to start the season.

True, but overall, they've seen a regression across all metrics except for HDCF%. Their xGF% are pretty much equal (49.56% under Peters vs 49.78% under Ward).
Their PDO has also done a complete 180. From being 3rd last under Peters (.968) to 3rd highest under Ward (1.017)
Have to think it's all mental. Especially Gaudreau. He doesn't look half the player we've become used to.
Monahan actually looks much more engaged this year. Chucky is still Chucky and Lindholm continues to be a beauty.
Between Gaudreau falling off a cliff and Giordano running into a brick wall, I think those two are the biggest reasons our offense has dried up so much.
