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.

In a game the Bruins badly needed to win, interim coach Joe Sacco sat Brad Marchand in overtime and didn’t use him in the shootout. This is the same Brad Marchand who has 21 career overtime goals, the most ever by a Bruin and third most among active players.
