Borowiecki discharged from hospital after being stretchered off vs. Flyers

Nashville Predators defenseman Mark Borowiecki was released from hospital Saturday night after he was stretchered off the ice during the second period against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Borowiecki was resting at home Sunday with no major injuries. He'll undergo further testing and observation to determine a timeline for his return.

The veteran blue-liner's head made contact with the boards after a hit from Flyers forward Morgan Frost. There was no penalty on the play.

Borowiecki was conscious and had movement in all of his extremities, the Predators said Saturday. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The 33-year-old is in his third season with Nashville. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Ottawa Senators. Borowiecki has no points in three contests this campaign while averaging nearly 12 minutes per night.
