Mark Borowiecki will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday.

The Ottawa Senators defenseman is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head on Vegas Golden Knights center Cody Eakin on Sunday.
The incident occurred at 15:29 of the first period of Vegas' 4-3 overtime win at T-Mobile Arena. Borowiecki was given a major penalty for charging and a game misconduct. Eakin did not return.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
