EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a brief update to our earlier published report on Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting.

UPDATE: Bunting has been called in by NHL Player Safety and faces possible supplemental discipline.

For our earlier report on this developing story, read below.


We've had a bit of everything so far in Game 1 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Big goals, big saves, big hits and... surprise, surprise... a cheap shot from Leafs forward Michael Bunting.

Butning earns himself a major penalty and a game misconduct for this elbow on Lightning defender Erik Cernak:

Bunting will now watch the rest of the game from the dressing room and his teammates will be forced to kill a five minute major while already down two goals.

UPDATE: Welp... now they're down 3 goals.
