Michael Bunting A Game-Time Call Friday

Nashville Predators left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) has been labeled a game-time decision for Friday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks. He would make his Predators debut if he is cleared for action. Bunting has been on the shelf since Feb. 25 after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix. He had a disappointing end to his spell with the Pittsburgh Penguins, going scoreless in eight of his last 10 appearances. A move to Music City could rejuvenate Bunting, who has tallied 14 goals and 29 points in 58 games over the course of the season. He has notched most of his points (15) with the man advantage. Bunting's addition could give a boost to Nashville's 20.6 percent power play.

Michael Bunting Not Expected To Play This Weekend

Nashville Predators left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) is viewed as a day-to-day and is not expected to suit up this weekend. Bunting underwent an operation to remove his appendix last week. On Wednesday evening, the Penguins traded Bunting to Nashville in exchange for Thomas Novak and Luke Schenn. Through 58 games this season, Bunting has found the back of the net 14 times and added 15 helpers. Bunting has tallied 15 of his points on the power-play. Before his injury, the 29-year-old was in the midst of a 15-game slump as he tallied just four points over this stretch (one goal). When Bunting makes his Nashville debut, fantasy managers should expect Bunting to compete for a role in the top-six and will likely have a role on their top power-play unit.

Michael Bunting Traded To Nashville

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) and a 2026 fourth-round selection to the Nashville Predators in exchange for center Thomas Novak and defenseman Luke Schenn. Bunting is currently sidelined with after undergoing an appendectomy and could return later in the 2024 season. However, Bunting will be under contract with Nashville for the 2025 season. Bunting was initially traded to Pittsburgh during last year's trade deadline in a move that sent Jake Guentzel to the Carolina Hurricanes. Before sustaining the injury this season, the 29-year-old found the back of the net 14 times and added 15 helpers. He tallied 15 of his points on the power-play and added 59 hits and 13 blocked shots. If Bunting were to return later this season, he will likely have a role in the Nashville top-six.

Michael Bunting To Be Sidelined Indefinitely

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) underwent surgery to remove his appendix and will be sidelined indefinitely. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to miss a significant amount of time and could even miss the remainder of the regular season. Over his previous 10 contests, Bunting has tallied just two points (both helpers) while holding a -3 rating with 20 shots on goal. However, before this slump, Bunting tallied 11 points (seven goals) over his previous 14 contests. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Anthony Beauvillier and Danton Heinen to have a role on the second line alongside Evgeni Malkin for the foreseeable future. Philip Tomasino could also be given opportunities to play in the top six. Through 58 games this season, Bunting has found the back of the net 14 times and added 15 helpers.

Michael Bunting Dealing With Illness

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting (illness) was unable to participate during Wednesday's practice due to an illness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday evening. If the 29-year-old were to miss time, left wing Matt Nieto would likely rejoin the starting lineup. Over his previous 10 contests, Bunting has been in the midst of a scoring slump as he tallied just two points (both helpers). However, prior to this skid, Bunting tallied eight points (four goals, four helpers) over his last 12 games. Through 58 games, Bunting has found the back of the net 14 times and added 15 helpers with 110 shots on goal. If Bunting were to miss time, Blake Lizotte could take his spot on the third line.

Michael Bunting Back For Penguins Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting (undisclosed) will return to action in Tuesday's matchup against Seattle. He dropped out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay after being involved in a car accident ahead of the game. Bunting will head back to the second line, where he will be joined by Cody Glass and the returning Evgeni Malkin (upper body). Bunting has recently enjoyed a successful spell playing with Malkin. He has averaged a point per game over his last nine appearances, boosting his tally for the season to 13 goals and 25 points. The 29-year-old has produced 12 power-play points across 43 outings and will look to do further damage on Tuesday as a member of the first power-play unit.

Michael Bunting Tallies Goal, Two Helpers On Saturday

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting tallied a goal and two assists in their victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday evening. Bunting tallied the secondary assist on Anthony Beauvillier's opening goal. Later in the second, Bunting would find the back of the net on the power-play and then tally another assist on Philip Tomasino's eventual game-winning power-play strike. This was a nice breakthrough outing for Bunting, as he had gone scoreless over his previous three games and tallied just six points in November before Saturday. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to hold on to Bunting as he has shown upside on the power-play (three PPG in November) and has usually continued to see top-9 minutes.

Michael Bunting Back At Practice

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.
