Michael Bunting to Sit Out Tuesday's Game

Dallas Stars left wing Michael Bunting (lower body) won't suit up on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports. He suffered a lower-body injury in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia and could miss several games. Dallas' forwards have been dropping like flies lately, leading to Cameron Hughes getting a chance to make his team debut on Tuesday. The 29-year-old hasn't appeared in the NHL since 2020-21. Hughes has been a prolific player in the minors, averaging over a point per game this season, but he will enter the lineup on the fourth line and isn't expected to make a significant impact.

Michael Bunting Suffers Lower-Body Injury Sunday

Dallas Stars left wing Michael Bunting sustained a lower-body injury in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. He was hurt during the first period. Initially, the team announced Bunting was questionable to return. In the end, Bunting didn't add to his 3:46 of ice time. Injuries have ravaged the Stars' front line all season, and Bunting now might have to sit out some action. His career has yet to take off in Texas, as Bunting has totaled only one goal and one assist in 11 appearances with the Stars. The veteran was even a healthy scratch for one game last week.

Stars Add Michael Bunting From Nashville

The Dallas Stars have bolstered their front line by acquiring left wing Michael Bunting from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2026 draft. Dallas has won a franchise-record 10 consecutive games and is preparing for a deep playoff run, having also picked up defenseman Tyler Myers from the Vancouver Canucks this week. Bunting is packing his bags at the trade deadline for a third consecutive year. The Predators acquired the 30-year-old 12 months ago from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bunting had 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in 61 games with the team this campaign. With the Stars' frontline banged up, Bunting could be an intriguing fantasy pickup for the final stretch of the season. He is joining the league's sixth-best offense and a deadly 30 percent power play, albeit in a second-unit role.

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 Misses Sunday's Action

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting (undisclosed) will not play in Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters ahead of the game that Bunting was involved in a car accident outside of PPG Paints Arena. Luckily, everyone involved in the incident is okay, but Bunting will be kept out of action on Sunday. Following a slow start to the season, Bunting has found his stride since the beginning of last month, posting 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 18 games. He has tallied 13 goals and 25 points in 43 contests across the season. Philip Tomasino (lower body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Sunday and will replace Bunting in the lineup.

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 Exits Saturday's Game With Illness

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.

Michael Bunting Back At Practice

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.
