Todd Bertuzzi (back/groin) is skating in warmups for Saturday afternoon's game against Chicago. It still doesn't mean he'll play but it is an encouraging sign.

Todd Bertuzzi's lower body injury is a lingering back problem. Bertuzzi was a late scratch Thursday and was held off the ice Friday. That being said, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock still thinks Bertuzzi will return Saturday.

Todd Bertuzzi was a late scratch for Detroit Thursday because of a lower-body injury. He is listed as day-to-day. Jan Mursak, who was summoned from the minors as a possible injury replacement for Pavel Datsyuk, ended up playing in Bertuzzi's place instead.

Todd Bertuzzi scored his fifth goal of the season in a 3-2 loss to Chicago Friday. Bertuzzi also had a fight with the Blackhawks Daniel Carcillo so it was a great stat night for the veteran winger. Justin Abdelkader picked up his third goal of the campaign while Mike Commodore had his first assist of the season. The line of Jiri Hudler, Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula were all minus-two on the night.

Coach Mike Babcock has been thrilled with the play of Todd Bertuzzi since he was moved to the top line. Bertuzzi is playing alongside Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen and while Bertuzzi only has five points since the line was put together 10 games ago, Franzen has 10 while Datsyuk has 15. Bertuzzi has eight points in 21 games thus far but his plus-seven rating gives hi some fantasy value.

Todd Bertuzzi says he feels a lot better since returning from a sinus infection. Bertuzzi missed six games with the infection. "I felt terrible for a little while, felt like crap, and then when you're feeling 100 percent and you feel good, get back your energy and rhythm, it's been a noticeable difference," Bertuzzi said. Bertuzzi is now playing on the top line with Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen and the line seems to be clicking, giving Bertuzzi some fantasy value.

The return to the lineup of Todd Bertuzzi seemed to help Pavel Datsyuk out of his scoring slump Saturday. Big Bert played on a line with Datsyuk and his mere presence seemed to open up some space for the shifty pivot, who scored two goals in the Wings' 4-1 win. Look for this pairing to continue which is certainly a boost for Bertuzzi's fantasy value.

Todd Bertuzzi logged 16:55 minutes in his return from a sinus infection on Saturday. Bertuzzi was forced to miss six straight contests. He had a plus-one rating, two penalty minutes, two shots on goal, one blocked shot, and one hit to help the Red Wings beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-1.
