It has been a busy day around the league.
In this edition of Around the NHL, an Ottawa Senator is listed as week-to-week, a Tampa Bay Lightning player is on waivers, and the Islanders re-signed one of their players.
Let’s dig in!

Shane Pinto out week-to-week

On Sunday morning, Ottawa Senators head coach Tarvis Green announced that Shane Pinto is out week-to-week.
Pinto was selected in the second round of the 2019 draft, becoming a regular in the Senators lineup in 2022-23 where he scored 20 goals and 35 points in 82 games. The right-shot centre missed the first half of the 2023-24 season thanks to a gambling suspension, but potted nine goals and 27 points in 41 games.
So far in 2024-25, the 23-year-old has a goal and three assists in six games, as the Senators have a 4-3-0 record early in the season.

Gabriel Fortier on waivers

On Sunday afternoon, it was reported that Tampa Bay Lightning forward Gabriel Fortier was placed on waivers.
Selected in the second round of the 2018 draft by the Lightning, Fortier has played just 11 National Hockey League games, scoring a goal while picking up four penalty minutes. In 2021-22, he played 10 of those games, while also playing a game the following season.
Last season, he spent the entire season with the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, scoring 13 goals and 26 points in 62 games, along with a goal and five points in eight postseason games.

Matt Martin signs one-year deal with the Islanders

On Saturday, the New York Islanders announced that they agreed to a one-year deal with Matt Martin worth $701,963.
Martin has spent the majority of his career with the Islanders in two separate stints. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2008 draft and scored 42 goals and 88 points in his first stint from 2010 until 2016. At the end of the 2015-16 season, Martin signed a four-year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring eight goals and 21 points in 132 games before being traded back to the Islanders after two seasons.
Since returning to Long Island, he has 31 goals and 67 points in 386 games. Fun fact, but Martin is one of just five players remaining in the league with a visor, the others being Ryan Reaves, Ryan O’Reilly, Jamie Benn, and Zach Bogosian, the latter being one of just three active former Atlanta Thrashers remaining as well.
