EDGE Analysis

The Griffins defeated Syracuse 4-2 in the Cup finals series, with Bertuzzi providing the game-tying tally in Game 6. Nabbed by the Red Wings in the second round (58th overall) of the 2013 draft, Bertuzzi has been involved in postseason play every season since starting juniors with OHL Guelph Storm in 2011-12. Look for the fierce competitor to compete for a full-time role with the Red Wings this fall.
