Pittsburgh Penguins forward Michael Bunting was involved in a car accident Sunday outside of PPG Paints Arena, head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, according to team reporter Michelle Crechiolo.

Sullivan added that everyone involved in the incident is OK, but Bunting won't play in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bunting has 13 goals and 25 points in 43 games this season. Pittsburgh acquired the 29-year-old from the Carolina Hurricanes last year as part of the Jake Guentzel trade.

The Scarborough, Ontario, native has 89 goals and 206 points in 311 career games between the Arizona Coyotes, Toronto Maple Leafs, Hurricanes, and Penguins.
