Bertuzzi (upper body) will miss at least the remainder of February, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi won't be available for Detroit's final three games this month, which means he will have missed the entirety of February. The earliest he could return to game action is next Tuesday in Columbus, but it's far from guaranteed that the winger will be ready to play by then.

Bertuzzi (upper body) won't be available for Friday or Saturday's game against the Panthers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi has been sidelined since late January with an upper-body issue and still hasn't resumed skating, so at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return. The 25-year-old winger picked up five goals and two assists through the first nine games of the campaign before picking up his injury.

Head coach Jeff Blashill said Monday that Bertuzzi (upper body) hasn't started skating again and will miss the next two games, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi has already missed seven games, and the earliest that he can return is Friday versus the Panthers. Despite missing so much time, Bertuzzi is still tied for the team lead with five goals, supplying two assists and 20 shots on net, as well.

Despite missing the last five games with an upper-body injury, Bertuzzi still leads the Red Wings in goals with five.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was on a major scoring binge, as he potted all five goals over a six-game span leading up to the injury. Conversely, the Wings have majorly suffered in the attacking zone without him, as the team is now averaging a mere 1.93 goals per contest on the season. A previous report indicated that Bertuzzi might return for Monday's clash against the Blackhawks on Monday, but he'll supposedly miss the next road two contests with the Predators.

Bertuzzi (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Bertuzzi has already missed the previous five contests, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him on injured reserve. Assuming the club used a retro-active designation to Jan. 30, Bertuzzi can be activated if ready to play when the team returns from its road trip, for which the winger has already been ruled out.

Bertuzzi (upper body) will miss Detroit's upcoming three-game road trip, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was originally given a 4-6 game timeline but will now be sidelined for a total of seven contests due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old winger was rolling with four goals on seven shots, including three power-play tallies, in his previous four contests. With Bertuzzi unavailable, Filip Zadina figures to get the first look at a top-line assignment with Dylan Larkin, though Bobby Ryan and Anthony Mantha could also be in the mix.

Bertuzzi (upper body) is expected to miss Detroit's next four to six games, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given the expected length of Bertuzzi's absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see him wind up on injured reserve in the coming days. The 25-year-old has been one of Detroit's better forwards this season, having picked up five goals and seven points through nine games, so this is a significant loss for the Red Wings and fantasy owners alike.

Bertuzzi (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi exited early in Saturday's loss to the Panthers, and he wasn't able to make the short recovery. The 25-year-old started the year hot with seven points through the first nine games. His next chance to play will be Wednesday's road game against the Lightning. Mathias Brome will bump up to the top line in Bertuzzi's place.

Bertuzzi (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi exited in the third period and is done for the night. The 25-year-old logged 15:52 of ice time and a goal before departing. His status is highly questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Bertuzzi scored a power-play goal on his lone shot in a 7-3 loss to Dallas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi swatted a rebound out of mid-air at 7:26 of the third period to draw the Red Wings to within 4-2. It was the fourth goal of the season for Bertuzzi, all of which have come over the last five games. He's done his best work on the power play, where he's lit the lamp three times this season. A 20-goal scorer in each of the previous two seasons, Bertuzzi is one of the few reliable offensive producers in the Detroit lineup.
