The former Flyers captain wasn\u0027t quite sure Friday what to expect in the Saturday afternoon contest.

One of the lingering questions, of course, is why Giroux wasn’t on the ice to take the faceoff before Nico Hischier’s power-play game winner in overtime. Giroux was 12-4 in the circle on the night.

Pinto did his part by scoring twice, the first multi-goal game of his National Hockey League career. “It’s a cool atmosphere and just to have my friends and family here, was definitely really cool,” he said.

Senators defenceman Jake Sanderson isn’t far behind, with seven points . Sanderson also ranks fourth in average ice time among rookies behind only Buffalo’s Owen Power and Montreal’s Kaiden Guhle and Jordan Harris.: Devils goaltender Akira Schmid was feeling the heat, entering the game after starter Vitek Vanecek left in the third period with the game tied 3-3.
