Per Mike Sullivan, Michael Bunting was in a car accident outside PPG Paints Arena on his way to the game. He is OK but won’t play tonight.
I saw the wreck on the walk in, both the car and Bunting’s truck looked pretty messed up and had to be towed away. The car had damage to the whole front, Bunting’s truck took most of the damage to the front driver’s side. It was at the intersection of Washington and Center, right next to the arena and around the corner from the player’s garage.
So, Phil Tomasino presumably draws back in tonight. Tristan Jarry will start.
