Senators' Borowiecki to have hearing for elbowing Bruins' Vaakanainen

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.
