Bunting delivered two assists Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
With 53 points on the season, Bunting moved back into the NHL lead in rookie scoring. His season hasn't gotten the same Calder love that guys like Lucas Raymond, Mortiz Seider and Trevor Zegras have gotten, but it should. Bunting might be 26, but he has been exceptional on the Leafs' top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. He's not just an opportunistic scorer -- he works hard for everything he's put up.

Bunting provided an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
A legitimate Calder Trophy contender, Bunting is up to 20 goals and 30 assists through 64 games. His development is being fast-tracked thanks to an enviable top-line assignment alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. Prior to moving to Toronto, Bunting chronically shuffled between the Coyotes and their minor-league affiliate in Tucson, but now he's thriving in his age-26 season and directly associated with a pair of elite skaters in Hogtown.

EDGE Analysis
Bunting became the ninth Leaf rookie to record a five-point game and the first in the NHL expansion era (since 1967-68). The last assist was a "Marner pass" -- a drop pass on a near breakaway to none other than Mitch Marner himself to cement the win and get Marner his fourth goal of the game. Bunting, Marner and Auston Matthews tallied a remarkable six goals and 15 points on the night.
