Bunting scored a goal on two shots, dished three assists, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting loves playing the Flames -- in three games against them this season, he has three goals and six assists. Those outings account for three of his five multi-point efforts so far. The 30-year-old's big Saturday has him up to 11 goals, 13 helpers, 69 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating over 41 appearances. He was limited to 38 points in 76 regular-season games in 2024-25, but he's well on his way to exceeding the 40-point threshold for the fourth time in five years.

Bunting scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators overcame a 2-0 deficit in the first period, and Bunting's second-period tally was an extra layer of insurance. The 30-year-old winger ended a six-game point drought with the goal. He's up to 10 goals, 10 assists, eight power-play points, 66 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-8 rating through 39 outings this season, mainly in a middle-six role.

Bunting scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting has two goals and two assists over three games in December. The winger got the Predators on the board in the third period, though it was far too late to make a real impact in the game. Bunting is up to seven goals, 17 points (six on the power play), 40 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-7 rating over 28 appearances. His production doesn't stand out, but he's on the Predators' top power-play unit, so he could help in some fantasy formats.

Bunting had a goal and an assist in a 5-1 win over Calgary on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
His goal came on a rebound off a deflection early in the third frame to make the score 5-0. Bunting has five points (two goals, three assists) and 13 shots in his last five games. Prior to that, the winger had 10 points in his first 21 points. We're not sure if this run is real, but Bunting may help you short term until the rust forms on him and the Preds again.

Bunting scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting ended an eight-game goal drought with the opening tally at 15:48 of the first period. The 30-year-old winger also set up a Roman Josi tally in the third period. Bunting has maintained a middle-six role and a decent share of power-play time during his recent slump. On the year, the winger has five goals, 13 points (five on the power play), 30 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-11 rating through 23 appearances.

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

Bunting had a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
All three points came in the first period, including one assist 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 being trusted in more than spot starts.

Bunting scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting ruined Connor Hellebuyck'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, including 3:54 with the man advantage. He has two 20-goal regular seasons already on his NHL resume and is a fine low-end fantasy option with upside in deep leagues.
