BREAKING: Michael Bunting Has Been Suspended

They say to «roll with the punches,» but it looks like Michael Bunting keeps «rolling with the punishments.»

Bunting Suspended

After a headshot to Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak during the first game of the Leafs/Lightning best of 7 in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Bunting received a 5 minute match penalty, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Bunting would be ejected from the game and be scheduled to have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety.




Bunting met with the Department of Player Safety for a hearing this afternoon and was given a 3 game suspension.


No update has been given yet on Cernak's status.
