Senators' Shane Pinto leaves game early, clutching shoulder

Ottawa Senators centre Shane Pinto left Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the second period after appearing to injure his right shoulder on a faceoff.

Pinto, who was reactivated off injured reserve before the game, had previously been sidelined with an upper-body injury.

With the Senators leading 3-0 midway through the second period, Pinto leaned down and took a faceoff when he grabbed his right shoulder with his left hand before skating off the ice and going directly to the dressing room.

Pinto was expected to return to a prominent role after being sidelined for nine games, playing centre on the Senators’ second line and second power-play unit against the Penguins. The 21-year-old American has one assist through four games this season.

The Senators, 3-9-1 entering the game, have struggled with injuries and COVID-19 outbreaks this season.
