by Bruno Mulé | Senators Correspondent | Fri, Oct 10th 9:58am EDT
Shane Pinto powered the Senators to a 5-4 victory over the Lightning with a three-point performance Thursday. The 24-year-old center scored two crucial goals in the third period, first tying the game on a breakaway before potting the game-winner with just 1:47 left on the clock. He also added an assist earlier in the contest.
Fantasy Impact:
Pinto set career highs with 21 goals and 37 points last season, and this stellar opening-night performance suggests he could be on the verge of a true breakout campaign. His role in the top-nine forward group appears secure, and he has a knack for scoring timely goals. He is a player to target on the waiver wire, as his fantasy stock is clearly on the rise.
