Bertuzzi (upper body) was unable to take the ice for Wednesday's practice, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news doesn't bode well for the 23-year-old's status for Thursday's game against Vegas. Having already missed the past two games, the fact that Bertuzzi is unable to practice casts serious doubt on his availability for Thursday. With a young player like Bertuzzi, the Red Wings might be taking a cautious approach to make sure the winger doesn't withstand a more serious injury.
