Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki faces a hearing Wednesday for his hit on Boston Bruins blue-liner Urho Vaakanainen, the NHL's Department of Player of Safety announced.
Borowiecki elbowed Vaakanainen in the face Tuesday night, and the Bruins rearguard was later diagnosed with a concussion.
Vaakanainen was playing the second game of his NHL career. Boston is already without defensemen Torey Krug, Charlie McAvoy, and Kevan Miller.
