Bertuzzi (not injury related) will return to action Thursday night against the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi missed Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto as well as Tuesday's matchup versus the Habs in Montreal due to the fact that he isn't vaccinated against COVID-19 and consequently was prohibited from travel to Canada. The Red Wings sorely need Bertuzzi back in the fold, as he's a top-line winger who gets under the skin of his opponents. The 26-year-old has deposited six goals to complement three assists through seven games this season.
