Borowiecki’s misfortune steals the show in Senators win over Devils
Ottawa Senators defenceman Mark Borowiecki found a unique way to break up play against the New Jersey Devils.
Bobby Ryan, Derick Brassard and Zack Smith, into an empty net, scored for Ottawa in a 3-1 win over the New Jersey on Saturday night, but everyone was talking about Borowiecki after the game. For about 30 seconds midway through the third period the Devils controlled the puck in the Ottawa zone while Borowiecki stumbled and fell about five times after losing his skate blade.
Referee Tim Peel finally blew the play dead allowing Borowiecki to make his way to the bench and get his skate repaired.
“It was a very serious moment in the game and (the Devils) were throwing the puck around and then I saw (Borowiecki) fall and I couldn’t help but chuckle when he fell on his butt so hard,” said Senators goalie Mike Condon.
