Tyler Bertuzzi Kicks Off Scoring for Red Wings in Win
5 years agoDetroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi scored the game's first goal on Friday night, before adding an assist on Dylan Larkin's second-period goal. The one-two punch of Larkin and Bertuzzi proved to be more than Ottawa could handle as Larkin scored the eventual game-clinching goal in the shootout as well. Bertuzzi had quietly been having a strong season, 34 points in 45 games now, but his placement on the All-Star team has earned plenty of attention for the scrappy winger. Detroit's leader in goals and assists, Bertuzzi is on pace to shatter the career-high 47 points that he put up last year, though he is riding a career-high 18.4 percent shooting percentage. Known to chip in more than his fair share of blocks as well, Bertuzzi makes an intriguing add in deeper leagues.
