Senators’ Shane Pinto Suspended by NHL for Betting Activity

The NHL is suspending Senators center Shane Pinto 41 games for activities related to sports betting, the league announced on Thursday morning. Pinto becomes the first NHL player to be suspended in connection with sports gambling since the 1940s.

“The League’s investigation found no evidence that Pinto made any wagers on NHL games,” the league said in a statement. “The NHL considers this matter closed, absent the emergence of new information, and will have no further comment.”

The league began to investigate Pinto over the summer, and the investigation picked up over the past few weeks, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
