Michael Bunting Stats

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting produced his second consecutive multi-goal performance and added an assist in Tuesday's high-scoring 6-5 shootout loss to St. Louis. He had an even-strength tally in the second period and scored on the power play in the third to push the game past regulation. Bunting's assist came on a goal from William Nylander. The 27-year-old has been on a big goal-scoring run lately, lightning the lamp nine times in his past 10 appearances. The hot streak has lifted him to 13 goals for the season, and Bunting has also delivered 16 assists in 29 games. He's become Auston Matthew's trusted left-hand man and should have a spot on most fantasy teams. Matthews had two points Tuesday and became the fastest player in franchise history to log 500 NHL points, needing only 445 outings to get there.

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting extended his scoring streak to seven games with two assists in Thursday's 5-0 demolition against Los Angeles. He helped William Nylander and Auston Matthews on the board. Bunting has been in a giving mood ahead of the holidays, with all of his points during his current streak coming via assists. The 27-year-old is rewarding fantasy managers who had the patience to hold on to him after Bunting made a lackluster start to the season. 13 of his 19 points have come since Nov. 15. He's up to four goals and 15 assists, and Bunting should remain a regular scorer, with him having nailed down a spot on the first line.

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's Game 2 against Tampa Bay. He'll be back in action after sitting out four games. Bunting has had a fairytale of a season in 2021-22 and he will look to continue it in the playoffs. The 26-year-old finished as this year's top-scoring rookie with 63 points and he's well placed to make a big impact during the postseason as well, as Bunting is reunited with Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner, who combined for six points in Toronto's 5-0 victory in Game 1.
