Senators' Borowiecki suspended 2 games for boarding Kings' Toffoli
by from on (#24W38)
Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki has been suspended two games for boarding Los Angeles Kings forward Tyler Toffoli on Saturday, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Sunday.
Borowiecki received a five-minute major for the check, which occurred along the half wall early in the first period of the Kings' 4-1 win.
The Senators blueliner hit Toffoli "forcefully through (the) numbers, driving him dangerously into the glass," according to the league.
Borowiecki, who'd never been fined or suspended prior to Sunday's decision, will also forfeit about $12,000.
