Both are on loan until the end of the season.
Fox said: "With Daine out of the line up our transfer deadline needs changed. We have agreed on a second loan agreement with HC Innsbruck for Boruta.
“Antonin is a solid two-Way Czech 'D' who skates well and will give us some much needed depth during the run in.
“He can play both sides and plays a very solid defensive game.
