Late in the second Bunting was the victim of a cross check to the face by
Brandon Carlo. The play happened while Bunting was looking for a rebound and right in front of the official. The cross check left him with a cut across the bridge of the nose. With no call, Bunting skated to the bench for a change and once he got to the bench he absolutely lost it. He snapped his stick, screamed at the referee and showed off the damage caused by the stick by wiping the blood from his face with his hand and waving his bloody palm at the official.
