Leafs fans routinely invade Ottawa for games at Canadian Tire Centre, something that doesn't go unnoticed by players like Shane Pinto.

With a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, the Senators and their fans had the last laugh in an Ottawa building filled with Leaf fans

Shane Pinto scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and the Ottawa Senators beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1.

One big key to the Senators’ emerging victorious over Toronto was Pinto’s play against Leafs superstar Auston Matthews. Pinto played over 13 minutes against Matthews at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick. Matthews played 22:47 but had just one shot in the loss, snapping his five-game points streak.

Pinto broke a 1-1 tie at 10:47. Matthew Highmore’s initial sharp-angled shot from the right side of the net deflected high off the stick of Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner, and Highmore then batted the puck out of the air to the left post, where it deflected in off of Pinto.
