Bunting (lower body) won't play against Boston on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports. Bunting will miss at least one game after getting injured in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

Bunting is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Flyers due to a lower-body injury. Bunting exited Sunday's matchup in the first period after recording a hit and a shot in 3:46 of ice time. The team revealed during the first intermission that he's dealing with a lower-body issue, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in the final two periods. If Bunting is unavailable for the remainder of the game, his next opportunity to suit up would be Tuesday against Boston.

Bunting scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings. Bunting has two points over four contests since he made his Stars debut. The 30-year-old continues to fill a middle-six role with a spot on the second power-play unit, so he should be good for some depth scoring. He's now at 14 goals, 33 points (10 on the power play), 37 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 65 appearances between Dallas and Nashville in 2025-26.

Bunting notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks. Bunting got on the scoresheet in his Stars debut. He saw 14:43 of ice time in a third-line role while also playing on the second power-play unit. Bunting's an ideal complementary player, adding a little grit and the ability to be a reliable depth scorer to take some pressure off of Dallas' top players. Through 62 appearances between Dallas and Nashville this season, Bunting has 32 points (nine on the power play), 109 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-17 rating.
