It's fun to see Shane Pinto as the 5-on-3 centreman. That will likely be Claude Giroux's spot in the season, but it shows he's earned his coach's trust as a faceoff man. It's also nice to see Josh Norris taking faceoffs at all. That's a sign that they're not taking it easy on his shoulder.

Centre Josh Norris will make his pre-season debut when Ottawa visits the Montreal Canadiens. Norris missed the final two months of last season with a shoulder injury and was slowly being integrated back into the lineup at training camp.

Reinforcements are on the way for the Ottawa Senators. Centre Josh Norris and defenceman Artem Zub both will suit up for the first time in the pre-season on Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
