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

The Bruins held a 5-4 lead with under a minute remaining in regulation when Swayman gained control of the puck and clearly attempted to score a goal with the Ottawa net empty. Instead, the Senators’ Josh Norris gloved the clearing attempt, kept the puck in the offensive zone and eventually scored the game-tying goal at 19:48.

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman received a special welcome from Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark’s son Harry at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday.

Tim Stutzle scored in the shootout to lift the Ottawa Senators to a 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins. Leevi Merilainen, who made 23 saves in regulation and overtime, turned away all three Bruins skaters in the tiebreaker.
