EDGE Analysis

Bunting got the Hurricanes on the board early in the second period with a power-play marker, tying the game 1-1. The 28-year-old winger made a solid first impression in Carolina -- he signed a three-year deal with the Hurricanes in the offseason after posting 23 goals and 49 points in 82 games last year with Toronto. Bunting opened the 2023-24 campaign on the first line alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis while seeing time on the top power-play unit.
