Senators' Mark Borowiecki: Will sit with injury Thursday

Borowiecki will miss Thursday's game against the Coyotes due to "upper-body issues," Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.

Analysis:

Boro had been nursing a left shoulder ailment at the beginning of the month, but it's anyone's guess as to whether he's aggravated that area of the body. Boro leads the NHL with an astounding 288 hits in 57 games, which gives the Senators an intimating look from the back line but seems to leave him susceptible to injuries. He'll be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's road game against the Avalanche.
