Bunting did not play on Sunday after being involved in a minor car accident prior to the game, but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The 29-year-old Bunting has 25 points (13G / 12A) in 43 games this season. He has been extremely productive lately, scoring 18 points (9G / 9A) in his last 19 games.

Bunting is in the first year of a three-year deal that carries a $4.5M AAV cap-hit. He gets reunited with his former GM Kyle Dubas, who moved from Toronto to Pittsburgh in the offseason. Bunting picked up 13 goals and 23 assists (36 points) in 60 games with the Hurricanes this season. He could be a candidate to skate with Sidney Crosby, now that Guentzel is out of town, which would be a huge fantasy boost for the 28-year-old winger.

Bunting is in the first year of a three-year contract and has a 10-team no-trade list but will still be held out of Carolina's lineup on Thursday for trade-related reasons. The 28-year-old scrappy left-winger has enjoyed a mediocre first season in Carolina, with 13 goals, 36 points, 113 SOG, 55 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 60 games played.

Bunting had 23 goals, 49 points, 174 SOG, 103 PIMs and a +21 plus/minus through 82 games with Toronto in 2022-23 and has signed a three-year contract worth $13.5 million ($4.5M AAV) with Carolina. The 27-year-old left-winger will be joining his third NHL team after two seasons in both Arizona and Toronto and brings 57 goals and 126 points across 187 career games to the Hurricanes.

Bunting is finished serving his three-game suspension for a high hit on Erik Cernak but is expected to remain out of the Maple Leafs' lineup upon his return. It is a bit of a surprising move after the 27-year-old had 23 goals and 49 points through 82 regular season games.

Bunting missed the final three games of the regular season and Game 1 vs. the Lightning but will replace Kyle Clifford (suspended) for Game 2. Bunting had an outstanding season on a line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, scoring 23 goals with 40 assists (63 points) in 79 games.

Bunting missed the final three games of the regular season, was not on the ice for Sunday's practice and is listed as doubtful to play in Game 1. With Bunting likely not available, Alex Kerfoot is expected to skate on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

Bunting will miss the last couple of games with the injury he suffered early in the Maple Leafs' loss in Florida on Saturday. There has been no word on his availability for Game 1 of the postseason.

Bunting appeared in five games with the Coyotes a season ago but has spent the entire 2021 season in the AHL. The former fourth-round pick leads Tucson (AHL) with 19 points (7G / 12A) in 16 games. He'll replace Drake Caggiula on the fourth line.

Bunting was placed on IR on Thursday and heads back to Tucson, where he has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 29 games this season. The former fourth round pick has one goal in five games with the Coyotes this year.

Bunting had one goal in four games with the Coyotes earlier this season. The 23-year-old will travel to Vancouver with the team after being recalled on Wednesday. He has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 22 games with the Roadrunners.

Bunting has one goal in three games with the Coyotes this season. He gets recalled after scoring six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 20 games.
