Pinto scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists, added four PIM, notched two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Pinto was involved in three of the Senators' first four goals. His line with Nick Cousins and Michael Amadio combined for two goals and five helpers in the contest. Pinto hadn't logged a multi-point effort since Jan. 1, so this could be a spark for his offense. The 25-year-old center is up to 17 goals, 16 assists, 117 shots on net, 72 hits, 36 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 52 appearances. Pinto has a good chance of getting over the 40-point mark for the first time in his career.

Pinto scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pinto ended a six-game goal drought, during which he had just two assists. The 25-year-old has settled into a third-line role at even strength, though he gets enough ice time in all situations to function as a top-six center. Pinto is up to 17 goals, 30 points, 114 shots on net, 70 hits, 35 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 51 appearances. He's seven points shy of matching his output from 70 regular-season outings a year ago, which was a career-best point total.

Pinto scored an empty-net goal and put three shots on net in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Pinto placed the bow atop Saturday's 4-1 win with his empty-net goal with just over one minute remaining in the contest. Through 44 games this season, the 25-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 27 points, 95 shots on net, 52 hits and 26 blocked shots. While his numbers don't immediately jump off the page, Pinto has taken a step forward this season while skating over one minute more per game than a season ago. From his secondary power-play usage to solid category coverage, the young center holds plenty of reasons to maintain a middle-six role for the remainder of the regular season. He has a strong chance to surpass the 37 points he posted in 70 regular-season games a year ago, which bodes well for his fantasy stock in category-based leagues.

Pinto scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Pinto's tally late in the second period was enough to force overtime, though the Senators weren't able to get the win. The 25-year-old has two goals and two assists over his last six contests while playing in a middle-six role. The center is now at 14 goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 45 hits, 23 blocked shots, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances. This was just his second power-play point of the season, so he could elevate his offense if he gets more time in that situation.

Pinto scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The goal ended an eight-game drought for Pinto, who had three assists in that span and also missed 10 contests due to a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old scoring pace has predictably cooled after his impressive start to the year. He's still at 13 goals, nine assists, 75 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 33 appearances. Pinto should be capable of reaching the 20-goal mark for the third time in four years and is also on pace to top 40 points for the first time.

Pinto collected two assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
After being held off the scoresheet Monday in his return from a lower-body injury, Pinto sparked Ottawa's offense to life in the second period Thursday, helping to set up tallies by Nick Jensen and Ridly Greig. It was Pinto's first multi-point performance since the second game of the season, and through 29 contests he's produced 12 goals and 20 points with 68 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating.

He has 12 goals, 18 points, 65 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 34 hits across 27 appearances this season. According to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia, Pinto will miss at least two weeks, but the 25-year-old forward could be out longer than that.

Pinto scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Pinto has three goals over the first five games of the Senators' current road trip. He's up to 12 goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net, 30 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances this season. Pinto has often seen far more ice time than his third-line assignment would suggest -- he's averaging a career-high 19:33 per game -- which should help him continue to produce at a strong rate.
