The Bruins suffered another disheartening loss on Saturday, one that saw team captain Brad Marchand get benched for overtime.

During the Boston Bruins' ugly shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators, head coach Joe Sacco benched Brad Marchand for all of overtime. This was after Josh Norris, the player Marchand was defending, scored with just 12 seconds left in the third period to tie the game up at 5-5. View the original article to see embedded media. Following the game, Sacco said that Marchand sitting out during overtime was not due to injury but was instead a coaching decision. At the Bruins' Sunday practice, No. 63 said he understood Sacco's decision to sit him."Yeah, I mean, he’s going to make decisions based on how he feels each guy is playing each night," Marchand said. "I get it. It’s on me to be better."Marchand also called out his own play during the Bruins' ugly loss to the Sens. "My details weren't good enough," Marchand said. "In a game like that, they have to be spot-on. Overtime is a big opportunity, and you gotta earn that right. It's a part of the game."Marchand will now look to get things back on track against the San Jose Sharks on Monday afternoon and help lead Boston to a much-needed win. Related: Bruins Star Won't Play Against SharksRelated: Bruins Make Massive Changes To Lines At PracticeRelated: Bruins Superstar Gets Benched Vs.
