Borowiecki skated as a forward in practice Monday, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

Analysis:

Borowiecki has traditionally skated on the team's blue line, and could end up staying there during games, but filled in up front after Mike Hoffman left practice early. The 26-year-old likely won't factor too heavily onto the scoresheet though, as his main value lies in hits, PIM, and blocked shots.
