Big Night for Tyler Bertuzzi Helps Lift Detroit
5 years agoDetroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi racked up the second four-point game of his career, notching a goal and three assists in Detroit's shootout win. Bertuzzi picked up a point on every one of Detroit's regulation goals as his line, along with Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha, combined for 11 points on Sunday. When playing together, those three have been one of the only bright spots for Detroit this season and can take over a game in stretches. Bertuzzi now has 47 points in 70 games, tying a career-best point total that he set last season. His slight uptick in point production compared to last season has come with a significant increase in power-play production as he is now up to 14 power-play points compared to six last season. The bottom line is that Bertuzzi has forced his way into fantasy relevance, and when he is skating with Larkin and Mantha he makes a good case to be rostered unless you are in a particularly shallow league.
