The suspension of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting is complete.
Bunting received the three-game suspension for his hit on Tampa Bay defenseman Erik Cernak during game one. The Toronto Maple Leafs announced yesterday that he won’t be playing in Game 5.
The Leafs replaced Bunting with prospect Matthew Knies and he isn’t coming out of the lineup.
Knies registered one assist, nine hits, three takeaways, and one giveaway, not to mention a game-saving stop on defense. The 20-year-old prospect has had his share of scoring chances and hasn’t looked out of place.
