Maple Leafs' Michael Bunting Suspended 3 Games for Headshot on Cernak, Costing His Own Team

Michael Bunting received a match penalty for an illegal check to the head/interference against Erik Cernak, causing Cernak to exit the game with an injury.
Bunting's penalty and resulting suspension will impact the Leafs for the rest of the series against the Lightning.
Bunting has struggled with discipline all season, leading the NHL in penalties taken among NHL forwards.
The loss of Bunting will hurt the Leafs' offense, leaving uncertainty about who will take his spot on the top line.
The Leafs coaching staff must decide whether they can trust Bunting enough to give him the minutes expected of a top line player.
