Predators' Mark Borowiecki: Returns to lineup Thursday

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

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.
