Ottawa Senators forward Shane Pinto signed a four-year, $30 million extension on Nov. 13, which starts in the 2026–27 season. The deal has an average annual value of $7.5 million. At 25 years old, Pinto was set to become a restricted free agent, but the Senators locked him into their core as his ice time and production continue to grow — this season he has posted 14 points (8 goals, 6 assists) in 17 games while averaging a career-high nearly 19½ minutes per night. GM Steve Staios called him “an important part of our core” and said the extension gives the group a chance to build together.

Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was released from a Miami jail after posting $25,000 bail following a not-guilty plea on a second-degree attempted murder charge. A judge ordered him to wear a GPS ankle monitor and stay under low-level house arrest as he awaits trial, where he could face up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. According to the indictment, the charge stems from a May 16 incident in Miami — after a celebrity boxing match — in which Brown allegedly grabbed a gun from security and fired two shots at a man he had previously fought with; one bullet reportedly grazed the man’s neck. Brown’s attorney disputes parts of the affidavit, claiming he used his own gun and didn’t aim at anyone.

Have a nice week!
