Nashville Predators defenceman Mark Borowiecki will have a hearing with the NHL department of player safety on Sunday.
Borowiecki is facing discipline for kneeing Arizona Coyotes forward Dmitrij Jaskin during the first period of the Predators’ 4-1 win on Saturday in Nashville.
Canadiens forward Cedric Paquette ejected (5 mins + game misconduct) for boarding Trevor Zegras. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoHabsGo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#GoHabsGo</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlyTogether?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#FlyTogether</a> <a href=”https://t.co/5sqVu8t25e”>pic.twitter.com/5sqVu8t25e</a>

Borowiecki was assessed a major penalty, and then a major penalty and game misconduct for an ensuing fight with Antoine Roussel.
Jaskin did not return to the game.
“It’s long term,” Arizona head coach Andre Tourigny said of Jaskin’s injury. “It’s lower-body, but it will be really long term.”
Borowiecki, 32, has yet to record a point in nine games this season.
He has 15 goals and 52 points in 406 NHL regular-season contests with the Ottawa Senators and Predators.
