Bertuzzi was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings are expecting Thomas Vanek (hip) to return next Sunday, and the gritty Steve Ott is capable of holding down the fort on the fourth line in the meantime. Bertuzzi is a true competitor with speed as well as scoring upside, but he only averaged 9:58 of ice time in his first three NHL games and stands to benefit from heavier playing time in the minors.
