Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto potted two goals in Friday's impressive 3-0 win on the road against Carolina. He logged the game's first goal with 4:04 played in the second period and wrapped up the scoring with an empty-netter inside the final minute of play. Pinto entered the action with only one goal for the campaign, which came in the season opener against Florida on Oct. 10. He had been without a point since Oct. 19. The 24-year-old now has five points (three goals, two assists) in 21 appearances for the season. It's been a massively disappointing campaign for Pinto, who averaged 0.66 points a season ago. He's stuck in a third-line role but sees regular power-play action, so you would expect Pinto to produce offense much more consistently.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (undisclosed) will return to action in Tuesday's Battle of Ontario against Toronto. An undisclosed injury has kept Pinto sidelined for eight games. Prior to the injury, Pinto collected three points (one goal, two assists) in six games. On Tuesday, he will work as the third-line center, and there's also a spot on the second power-play unit reserved for Pinto. The 24-year-old is not a consistent scorer, but Pinto has averaged 0.5 points per game for his career, and this season he has gotten on the score sheet in all situations.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (undisclosed) has been skating with the team and has a good chance to return on Saturday against the Boston Bruins. Pinto has missed seven games after suffering an injury on October 22. The 23-year-old has three points in six games so far this season and will likely return to his role as third-line center. Unfortunately, it's not a great situation for fantasy purposes, but if one of Tim Stutzle or Josh Norris, who have historically struggled to stay healthy, go down to injury, Pinto would see his stock skyrocket as he would join the top-six and first powerplay unit.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (undisclosed) will be out week-to-week. He skipped his first game of the season Friday night versus Vegas, and it's now clear that the Senators will have to face several more games without him. Pinto has worked as the team's third-line center, posting three points (one goal, two assists) in six games. Ridly Greig shifted to center on the line against the Golden Knights, while Cole Reinhardt entered the lineup. Reinhardt made an instant impact with an assist just minutes into the game, but he played a very limited role and isn't a viable fantasy option.

Restricted free agent Shane Pinto has signed a one-year, league-minimum deal worth $777,000 with the Ottawa Senators. The 23-year-old was hit with a 41-game suspension for activities related to sports wagering and will serve the final game of that suspension on Saturday versus the Winnipeg Jets. The 2019 second-round pick registered 20 goals and 35 points while skating in all 82 games for the Senators as a rookie in the 2022-23 season. "It's just awesome, it's special," Pinto said on Jan. 12 when he returned to practice. "You kind of take it for granted, being around the team and how much the boys mean to you." Pinto and the Senators are believed to be in talks about a long-term contract with the team.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto has received a 41-game suspension for activities relating to sports wagering. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Pinto's suspension started with Game 1 this season, meaning he will be eligible to play again on Jan. 21 if Pinto has agreed on a contract with the Senators by then. The 22-year-old is a restricted free agent. As Pinto has already been away from the team, his suspension doesn't change anything for the Senators, although they definitely wouldn't mind having his services available. Pinto produced 20 goals and 35 points in 82 games during his first full NHL season last term.
The Boston Bruins could reportedly be interested in bolstering their center position with Shane Pinto. A source has told Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now that the Bruins are seen as a potential suitor for Pinto as teams have started inquiring about the cost of the restricted free agent. The 22-year-old centerman is without a contract for the 2023-24 campaign after finishing a three-year, $2.7 million pact. Pinto slowly started to make noise in the NHL last season, winning Rookie of the Month honors in October and finishing with 20 goals and 35 points in 82 appearances. He would be a good pickup for the Bruins, but it's been noted that the Senators definitely won't let him go on the cheap.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (lower body) could be game-ready Monday versus San Jose despite getting hurt Saturday against New Jersey. He suffered a lower-body injury whilst blocking a shot and sat out Sunday's practice because of it. The 22-year-old has managed to collect eight goals and nine points in 17 games this season. However, he has gone cold after riding a five-game goal streak last month. There should be far more reliable options available for fantasy managers right now.
Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto remained hot in front of the net Monday, scoring in a fifth consecutive game. He netted the team's third goal as Ottawa came from behind to beat Dallas 4-2. Pinto is the first rookie in franchise history to record a five-game goal streak. it's been an amazing run, considering Pinto has produced just two shots on goal across the last two games and he averages just 14 and a half minutes of ice time per game. But when you're hot, you're hot, and Pinto will look to extend his streak Thursday night in a very favorable matchup against the Wild, who are giving up a league-worst 5.40 goals per game.
