According to head coach Mike Sullivan, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Michael Bunting underwent surgery on Wednesday, to remove his appendix. Sullivan said there currently isn’t a timetable for Bunting’s return. 

Bunting was acquired by the Penguins from the Carolina Hurricanes at last year’s trade deadline, as the main headliner of the Jake Guentzel deal.

After arriving to Pittsburgh, Bunting provided an instant spark, on the Top 6, recording 19 points (6 G; 13 A), along with a 60.9% Corsi, in 21 games played.

The 29-year-old winger had played in 58 games this season, scoring 14 goals and a Corsi of 57.3%.

Bunting is under contract thru next season, with an average annual value of $4.5 million, before he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
