Mark Borowiecki’s return to Ottawa’s lineup didn’t last very long. In his first game back following a suspension for an elbowing incident against the Bruins, the league announced that he has been suspended for three games for an illegal check on Golden Knights center Cody Eakin on Sunday.
The incident occurred in the first period of the game and Borowiecki was assessed a five-minute major penalty for charging and a game misconduct on the play. However, the fact that he was just coming off of a suspension likely did not sit well with the Department of Player Safety as it’s their expectation that suspensions are supposed to serve as deterrents moving forward.
The 29-year-old is now viewed as a repeat offender for salary forfeiture purposes, meaning that he will forfeit just under $44K in salary (3/82 multiplied by his $1.2MM salary). Borowiecki will be eligible to return to Ottawa’s lineup on November 4th against Tampa Bay. With the Sens down to just 12 healthy forwards and seven defensemen on their roster, they may decide to make a roster move in advance of their game on Tuesday night.
Well, he better change his game now or the next suspension will be on the order of Wilson’s most recent suspension
WTF is that moron sympathizer that was saying this ottawa born idotic goon was a “clean player” and not a thug? LOL scumbag senators strike again!!!!! Those front teeth tell the story, ha ha.
Should have had a 10 game suspension for using his elbow to spear 19 year old kid Urho in the head which resulted in a concussion, clearly a worse play than this 3 game infraction instance.
Just know JDGoatLover is going to be really upset that his boyfriend got suspended…. AGAIN….
Mark Borowacko is a “very clean” player after all. He was ONLY going for Urho’s chest with that elbow that led to a concussion, remember?
Poor JDcrackhead. You need Jesus.
Try one more post and that will do it. God your life must suck when you have to bait like this
Please prove intent. Or where I said i like Boro. Or where i said it was a “clean” play.

God the NHL is inconsistent when it comes to these plays. 9/10 times there wouldn’t be a call on this play, much less a suspension. And it wasn’t even the worst hit in the game. Carrier threw a hit which was way worse which is frustrating as a fan of the game. How one hit results in a 2 minute penalty and then one that’s not even near as bad results in a 5 minute and a suspension is ridiculous.
