Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki has been suspended one game for elbowing Boston Bruins defenseman Urho Vaakanainen, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Wednesday.

Borowiecki elbowed Vaakanainen, who was playing in just his second career game, on Tuesday during a scrum in front of the Senators' net, and he wasn't given a penalty.

Vaakanainen left the contest and was diagnosed with a concussion.

The suspension means Borowiecki will miss Ottawa's next game on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche.
