Bertuzzi delivered an assist in Thursday's 4-1 road win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi scored in the first game of December, only to be held pointless in four consecutive outings around a two-game suspension. The enigmatic winger is back in a groove with three assists over the last four, but Bert isn't shooting all that much -- only 47 shots in 34 games -- and there are concerns that his 19.1 shooting percentage is unsustainable. Take what you can get from the 23-year-old as he continues to learn the nuances of the NHL game.

Bertuzzi has served out his two-game suspension, which means he'll be eligible to play in Saturday's home game against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi socked Matt Calvert of the Avalanche in Sunday's game, even though Detroit's menacing scoring winger had been on the bench at the time. Fantasy leagues that track penalty minutes are becoming increasingly rare, though Bert has an immaculate shooting percentage (23.7) -- nine goals on 38 shots -- to help you out in the universally adopted offensive category.

Bertuzzi was suspended two games by the NHL's Player Safety Department for sucker punching Colorado's Matt Calvert on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The incident took place after Calvert was hit in front of the Red Wings' bench. From there, a scrum broke out involving multiple players. Ultimately, Bertuzzi, who remained on the bench for the duration of the altercation, lost his cool and punched Calvert in the face. The 23-year-old will be eligible to return Saturday versus the Islanders.

Bertuzzi will meet with league officials Monday to discuss his punch to Avalanche forward, Matt Calvert's head in Sunday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Calvert was hit in front of Detroit's bench and his stick subsequently was caught in a group of Red Wing players. From there, a fight broke out and that's where Bertuzzi took a swing at Calvert's head while remaining on Detroit's bench. The 23-year-old has never been suspended at the NHL level.

Bertuzzi scored two goals including the game-winner in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old is still trying to find his footing in the NHL, but he's taken a step forward as a sniper -- after scoring seven goals in 48 games last season, he's already got eight in 25 games to kick off 2018-19. Bertuzzi's fantasy ceiling will remain a bit limited without regular power-play time or a spot in Detroit's top six, but he has the talent to earn his way into a more prominent role if he gets on a roll.

Bertuzzi is expected to assume more penalty-killing responsibilities with Darren Helm (upper body) out for 6-to-8 weeks, Gregg Krupa of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi's fantasy value could take a modest hit since the feisty winger will be taking on more of a shutdown role for the foreseeable future. He's produced five goals and six assists without missing a game thus far, but Bert had already been starting 61.7 percent of his even-strength shifts in the defensive zone, so it would really be a bummer for poolies to see him moved off the puck to an even greater extent. However, there's always the possibility that he'll force more turnovers and tack on some shorthanded points.

Bertuzzi found the back of the net in Sunday's 4-2 home win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

This was a fluky goal. Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall made a clearing attempt only for the puck to bounce off a partition and fall into Bertuzzi's lap while Ben Bishop was behind the cage. Still, it all counts the same on the scoresheet, and Bertuzzi must be quite relieved to have snapped a four-game pointless streak. The pesky scoring winger is up to three goals and just as many assists through the first 11 games of the 2018-19 campaign.

Bertuzzi collected a power-play assist Saturday, but the Red Wings were crushed by the Bruins on the road, 8-2.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries have depleted Detroit's blue-line corps, which is one of the main reasons why the Bruins had a field day in the attacking zone. Still, Bertuzzi was only on the ice for one goal against him, and he extended his point streak to three games thanks to the man-advantage apple on defenseman Filip Hronek's first career tally. Fantasy owners in DFS contests have been busy stacking players against the Red Wings, but the contrarian move is to go with Bert while he's clicking offensively.

Bertuzzi brushed twine in Monday's 3-2 shootout road loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi performed a nifty spin-o-rama for his second goal of the young season. Detroit has plenty of forwards that can score, but with six rookies on the active roster and four of them being defensemen, it will be difficult for guys like Bertuzzi to focus primarily on what's happening in the attacking zone.

Bertuzzi penned a two-year contract with Detroit on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi had a successful first extended stint in the NHL last season, as he garnered seven goals and 17 helpers in 48 outings. Considering the winger ended the year playing on the Wings' top line, fantasy owners can probably expect him to log upwards of 70-80 games during the 2018-19 campaign.
