In a game the Bruins needed a win after giving up a two-goal lead in the third period against the Senators, interim coach Joe Sacco elected to bench Brad Marchand in overtime. Sacco said it was a coach’s decision despite the fact Marchand’s 21 overtime goals are the most in Bruins history and third among active players.

During the Boston Bruins ' last contest against the Ottawa Senators, head coach Joe Sacco benched Brad Marchand during overtime. Marchand was among the Bruins on the ice when Senators forward Josh Norris tied the game up with 12 seconds left at 5-5. No. 63 was also the player defending Norris when he got his shot off.

The Senators came back and emerged victorious in a playoff-like atmosphere against the Bruins at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Brad Marchand was clearly not at his best in the Bruins’ 6-5 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. He had trouble handling the puck most of the afternoon and was slow to close on Josh Norris before the Senator scored the tying goal with 12 seconds left in regulation.
