Shane Pinto of the Ottawa Senators will play Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs

Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto says he will return to action Tuesday against Toronto Maple Leafs.

Pinto last played in the team’s October 22 win over the Utah Hockey Club, where he suffered an undisclosed injury and was listed week-to-week.

The 23-year-old has one goal and two assists in six games this season.

In 41 games last season, he scored nine goals and 27 points. He missed the first half of the 2023-24 season after receiving a 41-game suspension for violating the league’s sports betting rules.

He is in the first season of a two-year, $7.5 million contract.

Drafted in the second round (32nd overall) in 2019, Pinto has 31 goals and 73 points in 146 games with Ottawa.
