Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki was assessed a game misconduct during the first period of Sunday night's tilt with the Vegas Golden Knights for his hit on Cody Eakin.
Here's a look at the play:
Golden Knights blue-liner Jon Merrill came to the defense of his teammate, dropping the mitts with Borowiecki.
The 29-year-old received a one-game suspension earlier this week for elbowing Boston Bruins rookie Urho Vaakanainen, so there's a good chance another meeting with the department of player safety is in his future.
Eakin left the game and didn't return.
