Borowiecki skated on the third pair Wednesday against Detroit, replacing Patrick Wiercioch, who was a healthy scratch.

Analysis:

Borowiecki was skating with the second pair, but with the addition of Dion Phaneuf, it looks like his playing time will drop down slightly. Averaging just a hair over 15 minutes of ice time, the 26-year-old picked up two PIM in 11:16 against the Red Wings, further solidifying his place on fantasy waivers.
