Shane Pinto has sparked the Ottawa Senators since returning from his half-season gambling suspension
Shane Pinto has been nearly a point-a-game player for the Ottawa Senators since returning from his half-season suspension for violating the NHL’s gambling policy
Shane Pinto brushed off his three-point game in Washington, which came in a 6-3 Ottawa Senators loss to the Capitals and ended their two-game winning streak.
He'd trade all his production victories.
“I’m not too worried about that," Pinto said. "I just want to win games. It’s a big part of the year. We’ve got to start winning games if we want to get in this race, and that’s all I care about right now.”
It's too late realistically for the Senators to make the playoffs this year, but that hasn't stopped Pinto and his teammates from setting their sights on an improbable, long shot run. More than anything, his play since returning from a half-season suspension for violating the NHL's gambling policy has provided a glimpse into what the future could hold for the team in Canada's capital.
