Michael Bunting reprising Coyotes role, playing style with Canada at hockey World Championships

Team Canada is off to dreadful start to the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship tournament in Riga, Latvia, falling to 0-3 following Monday's 3-1 loss to Germany.

But forward Michael Bunting, one of three Arizona Coyotes representing Canada at the event, is making the most of his opportunity to play at the international level for the first time in his life.

Bunting has played in all three of Canada's games, and on Monday tied for the team lead in shots with five. As he was with the Coyotes in 21 games this season, Bunting was active in front of the net for Canada and wasn't backing down from some physical play and dust-ups with opposing players.
