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.
