Bertuzzi scored two power-play goals in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old supplied all the offense on the afternoon for Detroit, but it wasn't anywhere near enough. Bertuzzi is seeing career highs in ice time both at even strength and with the man advantage to begin the season, and he has three goals and five points through six games as he looks to record his third straight 20-goal campaign.

Bertuzzi scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was listed on the fourth line as head coach Jeff Blashill shuffled his lines ahead of Tuesday's contest. The 25-year-old winger still skated 18:18, setting up Anthony Mantha for a power-play goal in the second period. Bertuzzi struck quickly in overtime, notching the winning tally just 15 seconds into the extra period. His usage will likely remain in a top-six role, making Bertuzzi a solid choice for fantasy managers in deeper formats. He has three points, nine shots on goal and four hits through four outings.

Bertuzzi picked up an assist Saturday, en route to a 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi's secondary apple counts as his first point of the young season. After registering a career-high 48 points (21 goals, 27 assists) in stark contrast to Detroit's horrendous 2019-20 campaign overall, Bertuzzi went through salary arbitration and ultimately settled on a one-year, $3.5 million pact to stay put in Motown. The talented winger figures to be a mainstay on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit for the foreseeable future.

Bertuzzi will get a one-year, $3.5 million contract with Detroit as a result of his arbitration hearing, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not the $4.25 million Bertuzzi's camp hoped to get, it's still a significant raise for the winger compared to the $1.4 million he earned in 2019-20. The 25-year-old Ontario native should be capable of reaching the 20-goal threshold for the third straight season and should push for the 50-point mark, as well, making him a top-half fantasy option.

Bertuzzi has proven that he deserves a long-term contract extension, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

EDGE Analysis

We completely agree with this assertion, as Bertuzzi was voted in as a first-time NHL All-Star, not to mention him establishing a new career in points with 21 goals and 27 assists through 71 games. Bertuzzi's biggest surge took place on the power play, with the hard-nosed winger accumulating three goals and 11 helpers in that key special teams situation. It'll be interesting to see the monetary value on Bert's next deal; he banked $1.4 million AAV on his first standard contract with the Wings.

Bertuzzi scored a goal on four shots and piled up 12 PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi deflected an Anthony Mantha point shot for his 21st goal of the season, pulling the Red Wings even at 1-1 in the latter stages of the first period. It was Bertuzzi's third consecutive contest with a goal, right on the heels of a 13-game dry spell, and it gave him a career-high 48 points in 71 games.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings' top line was the story of the afternoon -- Bertuzzi, Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha accounted for all but one of the team's points. Bertuzzi hadn't had a multi-point performance since Jan. 20, but Sunday's eruption pushed him up to 47 points (20 goals, 27 helpers) on the campaign, tying last season's career-best output in three fewer games.

Bertuzzi opened the scoring for the Red Wings in their 2-1 win over the Blackhawks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi perfectly anticipated a pass from Dylan Larkin directly in front of the doorstep and managed to beat Corey Crawford early in the second frame. Detroit's All-Star representative from this season has 43 points (19 goals, 24 assists) through 69 games. It had been exactly a month since he last bulged twine.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was considered questionable after missing Friday's practice, but coach Jeff Blashill said he's ready to go, although the lineup won't be revealed until warmups commence at 6:30 p.m. ET. The 24-year-old Bertuzzi has accrued 41 points -- 13 on the power play -- through 66 games, and he'll draw into the top six.
