Breaking: Boucher gives updates on Phaneuf and Borowiecki's statuses

The Ottawa Senators look to build a win streak Saturday night against the Vegas Golden Knights after defeating the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

Head coach Guy Boucher provided updates on two of his defensemen's health.

Mark Borowiecki suffered an injury back on October 17th, and had since returned a week later against the Los Angeles Kings. The bad luck ensued when the defenseman succumbed to illness on October 30th. He's been out since.

Dion Phaneuf appears to be dealing with something minor - he missed morning skate Thursday before the Red Wings tilt, but still played.

He should be okay.

The Sens are currently 6-2-5 and occupy second place in the Atlantic division.
