Senators' Mark Borowiecki: Returns to game after neck injury

Borowiecki (neck) returned in the second period of Friday's 4-2 exhibition loss to the Sabres, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

Analysis:

Borowiecki looked to be in pain when he left the ice, but the fact that he was able to return bodes well for his chances of suiting up come Opening Night. If you rely on the blueliner, it may be worth checking his status in case of a flare-up.
