Stays hot in Monday's loss Bunting scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Both points came in the third period as Bunting led a rally from a 4-2 deficit that earned the Predators a point in the standings, but they couldn't find the winner in OT. Bunting has delivered back-to-back multi-point performances and has two goals and six points over the last three contests, a sudden turnaround after he managed just two goals and three points through the first 11 contests of the season.

Three points in first period Bunting had a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Impact All three points came in the first period; one assist came on the power play. Bunting has four points (one goal, three assists) and four shots in his last two games. Don't get too excited -- the winger had a great game, but he had just three points in 11 games before this two-game run. He needs to show more consistency before he can be trusted in more than spot starts.

Scores lone goal Bunting scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Bunting ruined Connor Hellybuyck's bid for a shutout with a backhand goal at 18:56 of the third period. He logged a season-high 17:04 of ice time in Saturday's loss, with nearly four of those minutes coming on the power-play. He has two 20-goal seasons already on his NHL resume and is a fine low-end fantasy option with upside in deep leagues.

Finds twine in opener Bunting tallied a goal, fired three shots on net and served two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 season-opening win.

Impact Bunting scored the first goal of the year for the Predators just under seven minutes into regulation. It's an encouraging sign to see Bunting contribute to Nashville's offense in the early goings after taking a step back on the attack last season. His 38 points a year ago was his lowest mark since the 2020 campaign. The 30-year-old winger has played for four teams in the past four seasons (Toronto, Carolina, Pittsburgh, Nashville), but is showing signs of settling into his role on the left wing in the early goings of this season. His current value is best in deeper leagues.
