Michael Bunting News
Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting was forced to exit Saturday's matchup against Columbus early due to an illness. He played less than 10 minutes and didn't register any counting stats other than a minus-one rating. Bunting has had a decent start at his new club with three goals, four assists, 30 shots, and 15 hits through 12 games. Reilly Smith could move back into the top six if Bunting isn't good to go on Monday versus the Rangers.
Carolina Hurricanes left wing Michael Bunting (personal) was back in practice on Monday and looks set to re-enter the lineup Tuesday versus Buffalo. The 28-year-old missed Saturday's contest against the Islanders for personal reasons. Bunting has had a solid start to the year with three goals and five assists posted in 11 games. He's been a regular on the first line while also eating up nearly four minutes of power-play time on a nightly basis. On Tuesday, Bunting is projected to start off on the third line with Jack Drury and Martin Necas.
Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting has served his three-game suspension and is eligible to return to the lineup for Thursday's Game 5 against Tampa Bay, but head coach Sheldon Keefe has confirmed that the 27-year-old won't feature in the contest. The Maple Leafs have gone on a three-game winning streak without Bunting and have a chance to close out the series on Thursday. Matthew Knies has entered the lineup in Bunting's absence, posting one assist and nine hits with four shots on goal in the three games. Calle Jarnkrok has also benefited from Bunting's suspension, moving into his spot on the first line.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting, who served a three-game suspension for a high hit on Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak, is eligible to return for Game 5 on Thursday but will be a healthy scratch for the Maple Leafs. Despite his impressive regular season of 23 goals and 49 points in 82 contests, the 27-year-old forward is expected to remain out of the lineup as Toronto leads the Lightning 3-1 in the Eastern Conference first-round series.
