3 years agoToronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting (undisclosed) practiced on Sunday but is doubtful for Monday's Game 1 against Tampa Bay. He missed the final three regular-season games and has been nursing an unspecified injury for a week already, so Bunting should be close to returning to action. Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe has said that the 26-year-old rookie will definitely be back during the Round 1 action, but it's unclear if he features on Monday after only being an extra at practice and leaving the session early. Bunting had a major breakthrough campaign this season and ended up being Toronto's sixth-best scorer with 63 points in 79 games. Alexander Kerfoot is set to skate in his spot on the top line if Bunting isn't healthy enough to play on Monday.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
