Bertuzzi did not play in the third period of Thursday's win in Vegas and is questionable to play Saturday. After he left the game, Jonatan Berggren moved up into his place on the third line, so expect that to continue on Saturday with Adam Erne drawing in on the fourth line.
Bertuzzi left the Red Wings' previous game vs. Vegas after just 11:22 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is questionable to play Saturday when Detroit takes on Philadelphia. Bertuzzi has been back for only six games since his previous long-term injury so he will be hoping this is nothing serious.
Bertuzzi last played on Nov. 30th due to a hand injury but will return to the Red Wings' lineup Tuesday as they take on the Winnipeg Jets. The 27-year-old has one goal, three assists, 22 SOG and four PIMs through nine games so far this year. In his return, he will slot back in on the Red Wings' top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
It is more bad luck for Tyler Bertuzzi who was already forced to miss a chunk of the early season due to injury and will now head to the IR due to a hand injury. The 27-year-old has a goal, three assists and 22 SOG through nine games prior to hitting the shelf.
Bertuzzi has been out since the second game of the season when he broke his hand and was a pleasant face to see a return to Red Wings practice Tuesday. It was a tough loss for both the Red Wings and Bertuzzi after he put up his first 30/30 season last year finishing with 62 points (30G/32A) in 68 games in 2021-22. Prior to breaking his hand, he picked up one assist and four SOG in two games.

Bertuzzi left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, believed to be his hand, and will miss at least one month. Filip Zadina will draw into the lineup to replace Bertuzzi on Monday, and Dominik Kubalik will skate on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
Bertuzzi left after logging 8:14 TOI and registering an assist and two shots on goal. The Red Wings were off on Sunday, so there was no update on his status, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Kings.
Bertuzzi had to miss the Red Wings' western Canada trip due to being unvaccinated but joined the team in Seattle for Saturday's game. He should be back in the top-6 and top power-play unit.
Bertuzzi still isn't eligible to travel to Canada, so he won't play in Calgary, Edmonton or Vancouver. This is tough timing for the Red Wings, who lost Robby Fabbri for the season on Thursday. Taro Hirose was recalled from the AHL to fill in.
Bertuzzi missed Wednesday's practice due to a non-COVID illness and is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Wild. Expect Givani Smith to draw into the lineup if Bertuzzi can't go.
Bertuzzi missed the last five games while in COVID-19 protocol but was back on the ice for Monday's practice and will play Tuesday against the Islanders. Bertuzzi says he will remain unvaccinated. He has had a really strong year thus far, scoring nine goals with nine assists (18 points) in 20 games.
Because he has not been vaccinated for COVID-19, Bertuzzi is not eligible to travel to Canada for Saturday's game in Toronto or Tuesday's game in Montreal. Joe Veleno has been recalled from the AHL and could replace Bertuzzi.
