"I think all the rest of us in here have to look at ourselves in the mirror," Martin St. Louis said, "and say, 'You know what? I probably can do more, could have done more and am able to do more.'"

Boucher's firing means that 23-year-old Steven Stamkos will play for his fourth coach in five seasons when vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman names Boucher's replacement.

While Yzerman said the move to replace Boucher was made with the organization's long-term outlook in mind, St. Louis said he is keeping his focus on the game Sunday against the Jets and his club's bid to sneak back into playoff contention.

"We want to battle and give ourselves a chance," St. Louis said. "We've got to lay it on the line and go play. Everybody wakes up, finds out what happened, and we've got to play a game [Sunday]. We're just going to control what we can, come up with a game plan and go play. Play hard."
