GLENDALE --Prospect Michael Bunting stepped up his production for the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League during December, and has climbed into a tie for third place on the team's points list for the season with 16 after 27 games. Only Dylan Strome and Nick Merkley with 30 each have produced more points for the Coyotes' top affiliate.
Bunting, whom the Coyotes drafted 117th overall in 2014, averaged nearly a point per game over 12 games in December, and compiled a seven-game point streak from Dec. 3-16.
