Zibanejad should certainly be applauded for his on-ice heroics, but Borowiecki made one of the best plays of the season away from the rink when he broke up a burglary on his day off before a game against the Vancouver Canucks on Dec. 3. The Senators defenseman was shopping for his newborn baby when he saw a man break out a car window. "I see [the man] and hear this huge bang and just hear this blue Chevy Impala passenger-side window just shatter," Borowiecki said about the incident. "I yelled out 'Hey!' and I see him wrestling this huge hiking backpack and I yelled at him to put the backpack down, and he was kind of yelling and swearing at me, telling me to go away." Instead of being deterred, Borowiecki crossed the street and confronted the burglar, knocked him off the bike and recovered the backpack, which had passports, among other items, inside. Borowiecki then stayed by the car until police arrived and provided a statement. It turned out the woman whose backpack he saved was a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. It doesn't get any better than that.
