Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto has been suspended 41 games for violating the NHL’s gambling policy. The NHL found no evidence of the 22-year-old betting on NHL games, but it’s not yet known what he did. According to Sportsnet, the announcement came after a months-long investigation that reportedly intensified in recent weeks. The Senators released a statement shortly after the announcement. “We were made aware of the National Hockey League investigation into this matter and additional information was made available to the club upon the completion of the league’s investigation yesterday,” the team said. “Shane is a valued member of our hockey club; an engaging, intelligent young man who made poor decisions that have resulted in a suspension by the National Hockey League. We know he is remorseful for his mistakes. When the time is right and with the league’s blessing, we will welcome him back to the organization and embrace him as one of our own.”
