Borowiecki announced his retirement on his personal Instagram page Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki will hang up his skates after having played just four games in 2022-23. The 33-year-old defenseman had 15 goals, 41 assists and 848 PIM in 458 career games, though a number of injuries in recent years likely contributed to his decision.

Borowiecki (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

In a corresponding move, Jordan Gross was brought up from the minors for Nashville's road trip this week. Borowiecki has been out of action since Oct. 22, when he was injured in a game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki was taken off the ice on a stretcher during Saturday's game versus Philadelphia. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any major injuries and was released from the hospital Saturday night.

Borowiecki was taken off the ice on a stretcher during Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki suffered the injury when Philadelphia's Morgan Frost hit him into the boards while Borowiecki was in an awkward position. There was no penalty called, it was a routine situation that unfortunately went wrong. The Predators reported that Borowiecki was taken to the hospital. He was conscious with movement in all his extremities.

Borowiecki (illness) will return to the Nashville lineup Thursday, according to Emma Lingan of the Predators' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki will replace Jeremy Lauzon on the third unit, as the defenseman returns from an illness that has kept him out of the lineup the last two games. Borowiecki, who has five hits and five PIM, will line up alongside Alexandre Carrier.

Borowiecki (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki is on the fringe of the gameday roster anyway, so this won't impact most fantasy teams. The 33-year-old will look to be healthy again for Thursday's game in Columbus.

Borowiecki (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for the first game against the Panthers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki was sidelined for the final two matches of the playoffs last season due to his undisclosed injury but appears not to have suffered a long-term injury. For the second consecutive season, the Ottawa native failed to score a goal last season with his most recent tally coming back during the 2019-20 campaign when he was with the Senators.

Borowiecki (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against Colorado on Monday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borowiecki will be on the shelf for his second straight contest due to his undisclosed injury. Considering the blueliner has just one point in his last 14 contests and averaged just 13:54 of ice time over that stretch, his absence is unlikely to play a significant impact in fantasy contests. Even if he is cleared to play, assuming Game 5 is needed, Borowiecki will be a relative non-factor in terms of fantasy value.
