Michael Bunting scores hat trick as Maple Leafs blank the Senators

You could say that he's batting a thousand. 

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting, who is currently in his first season with the team, recorded a hat trick in tonight's victory in pre-season play over the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre in the Canadian capitol city. 

The 26 year old forward got the scoring going by concerting on a centering pass from Josh Ho-Sang: 

He'd add to Toronto's lead soon afterwards with his second goal, tipping in a shot from defenseman Rasmus Sandin: 

However, he wasn't finished. 

Goaltender Petr Mrazek, also a first-year Leaf, recorded 18 saves for the shutout. The Leafs improved to 2-1-0 in exhibition play, while the Senators dropped to 1-1-0.
