<p>Detroit Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde told the media Monday morning that forward Tyler Bertuzzi will be out four to six weeks with an upper-body injury.</p>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body) will be out 4-6 weeks. Jakub Vrana (personal reasons) will be unavailable tonight.</p>— Detroit Red Wings (@DetroitRedWings) <a href="https://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings/status/1582027767645814784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



<p>Bertuzzi, 27, suffered the injury during the second period of Saturday’s 5-2 win against the New Jersey Devils after awkwardly blocking a shot. He was seen in discomfort heading off the ice and would not return to the game. </p>



<p>It’s a significant loss for the Red Wings. The Sudbury, Ontario product registered a career high 30 goals last season, which included 18 even-strength goals. He was second behind captain Dylan Larkin for goals on the team. Bertuzzi also recorded a career-high of 32 assists, giving him 62 points on the year. Through just two games this season, Bertuzzi has one assist. The 2013 second-round 58th overall selection is in his seventh season with the Red Wings. </p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="162"></div>
