Coach D.J. Smith said on Monday that it is doubtful that Shane Pinto (shoulder) will return this season.
There was some hope that Pinto, who underwent shoulder surgery on Nov. 30, would be able to play again but that does not look to be the case. He had an assist in five games this season but look for a return to form next season from the second round pick and 32nd overall in 2019.
Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion expects to know by mid-March if Shane Pinto (shoulder) will be able to play again this season.
Pinto underwent shoulder surgery in late November. A timetable for his recovery was not provided at the time, but there was some hope that he would be available by late March or early April.
Shane Pinto (shoulder) has undergone surgery.
The Senators are hoping that Pinto will be ready to return in late March or early April. He has an assist in five games in 2021-22.
Shane Pinto and the Ottawa Senators have not decided as of yet as to whether or not he will have possible season-ending surgery to fix his dislocated right shoulder.
Pinto was injured last Saturday as he re-injured the shoulder that had kept him out of action for over two weeks previously. “They haven’t told me yet, but he’s not going to be back anytime soon. We’ll have more information as we go along here,” coach D.J. Smith said Saturday. If Pinto has the surgery, there will be a four-six month rehab period which could end his season.
