The Boston Bruins blew a two-goal lead late in the third period and eventually lost 6-5 in a shootout Saturday afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre.

WEEI’s Rich Keefe is doubling down on his take that there's a problem between Bruins captain Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak.

The Boston Bruins had a two-goal lead with under four minutes to go Saturday, only to choke the game away and lose to the Ottawa Senators in a shootout. It was the kind of loss the Bruins just can’t afford in the middle of such a tight playoff race.

The Senators' shootout win over the Bruins encapsulated everything we love about hockey — beautiful goals, crazy saves, an unbelievable comeback and even some fisticuffs. It was the sport at its purest and best.

In a wildly entertaining and raucous game, the Bruins had their most emotional win of the season in their grasp only to cough up a two-goal lead late in the final 3:13 of regulation with the goalie pulled and lose in a shootoout, 6-5.

Boston Bruins are expected to healthy scratch a surprising player ahead of their game against the Ottawa Senators

The Boston Bruins have a 22-18-4 record over 46 games for 49 points and a 53.3% winning percentage. The Ottawa Senators (and ugh... Montréal Canadiens) have a 22-18-4 record over 44 games for 48 points and a 54.5% winning percentage.

Koepke's replacement will be determined shortly. Bruins head coach Joe Sacco said forward Mark Kastelic would be back in the lineup if he is given the green light to play by the medical team. If not, Oliver Wahlstrom will replace Koepke in the lineup.

Things were going well for the Boston Bruins after Joe Sacco replaced Jim Montgomery behind the bench but as Adam Vingan writes, the momentum from the “new coach bump” has since ceased.
