The Ottawa Senators signed defenseman Mark Borowiecki to a two-year contract extension which will carry an average annual value of $1.2 million.

The 28-year-old recorded one goal and two assists in a career-high 70 games last season, and led the NHL in both hits (364) and penalty minutes (154) despite missing 12 games.

Borowiecki was drafted 139th overall in 2008, and was the first Ottawa native selected by the Senators.
