Jaskin did not return to the game.
"It's long term," Arizona head coach Andre Tourigny said of Jaskin's injury. "It's lower-body, but it will be really long term."
Borowiecki, 32, has yet to record a point in nine games this season.
He has 15 goals and 52 points in 406 NHL regular-season contests with the Ottawa Senators and Predators.
