Shane Pinto, Ridley Greig, and Michael Amadio have formed a formidable shutdown line for the Ottawa Senators, effectively tasked with neutralizing one of the league's top scorers, Nikita Kucherov. In their recent 2-1 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the trio successfully managed to keep Kucherov off the scoresheet, showcasing their defensive prowess and versatility.

With the Senators navigating a tight playoff race, particularly with Brady Tkachuk sidelined, the importance of this line has magnified. Pinto and Greig both blocked multiple shots, while Linus Ullmark stood tall in goal, affirming the team’s resilience. As the Senators challenge for a postseason spot, the stakes continue to rise, making every matchup crucial.

Despite a late surge from the Red Wings, including goals from Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko, they could not overcome a three-goal deficit following Michael Amadio's breakaway goal in the third.

The Senators now sit six points clear of the Montreal Canadiens, who are vying for the second wildcard spot. Ottawa’s power play efficiency was a highlight, as was their ability to capitalize on Detroit's struggles, which went 1 for 6 on the power play. With both teams facing crucial matchups ahead, the Senators will host Columbus, while the Red Wings will take on the formidable Boston Bruins on Saturday night.
