Bertuzzi emerged with a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Bruins for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi, who was with Boston this time last year, nearly had a two-point night, but what initially appeared to be a power-play tally from the winger ended up getting overturned since he knocked the puck with a high stick during the play. Still, in a matter of minutes, he found John Tavares with a primary apple on the man advantage for the game-tying goal. Bertuzzi's fiery playing style works well in a playoff setting, but it will be important for him to stay aggressive without losing his cool and getting whistled for costly penalties.

Bertuzzi had two goals and an assist in a 5-2 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bert has been a bit of a revelation beside Auston Matthews and Max Domi on the top line. The trio has allowed the Leafs to play its stars across three lines instead of top loading the lineup. Bertuzzi has 42 points, including 21 goals. This is the fourth season he's topped the 20 goal mark.

Bertuzzi scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi scored his first on an odd play on clean ice just 18 seconds into the second period. He banked a shot off Charlie Lindgren from behind the net to push the Leafs up 2-0. That goal stood as the winner. In the third, Bert topped off the scoring on another odd play when he knocked down a pass attempt from a Caps defender who was skating out from behind the net. He then wired a shot into a gaping net with Lindgren out of position. Bertuzzi has six goals (eight points) in his last seven games, a stark contrast to his one-goal-in-32 games span from the end of Nov. to the middle of Feb.

Bertuzzi (illness) will play Sunday against the Hurricanes, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was absent for Saturday's tilt with Edmonton but will limit his absence to one game. The veteran winger has 34 points in 67 games this season, including eight goals and 12 points over his last 13 appearances.

Bertuzzi (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Oilers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi scored a goal Wednesday in a 7-3 win over the Capitals, but he saw limited ice time in that contest. He then missed Friday's practice and ultimately won't play Saturday after being labeled a game-time decision. It's unclear if he'll be ready to go Sunday versus the Hurricanes.

Bertuzzi (illness) will be as game-time decision Saturday against Edmonton, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi briefly took part in Saturday's morning skate after skipping Friday's session. He logged 14:19 of ice time in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Washington despite feeling under the weather, so perhaps he will be able to play again. Bertuzzi has generated nine goals and 13 points over his past 16 outings.

Bertuzzi (illness) missed practice Friday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi was feeling under the weather Wednesday in the Maple Leafs' 7-3 win in Washington, but he managed to score his 15th of the season. Bertuzzi has 34 points in 67 games this season, including five goals and an assist on the power play. He's considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus Edmonton.

Bertuzzi brushed twine in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Bertuzzi dumped the puck into the cage with relative ease thanks to Auston Matthews' trickery on a no-look backhand pass. Last season, Bertuzzi struggled with injuries, managing 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) through 50 games between the Red Wings and Bruins, but he's missed just one game in 2023-24 for a team currently ranked ninth in the NHL with 87 points. Bertuzzi sporting only six power-play points while sharing the ice with Matthews is a bit of a head scratcher -- especially since the Buds have a 26.0 conversion rate on the man advantage -- though he's mixed it up a bit defensively based on 40 blocked shots and 78 hits.

Bertuzzi registered an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs were on the board first thanks to a tic-tac-toe sequence that started with some quick passes between Max Domi and Bertuzzi, who set up William Nylander's 34th goal of the season. While this counts as Bert's first point of March, he's impressively strung together six goals and two assists over the last 10 contests. Fantasy mangers rolling with top-six winger undoubtedly would prefer that he'd have more than six power-play points by now, but there's still hope for gain in that area since he's on the No. 1 man-advantage unit with NHL scoring leader Auston Matthews.

Bertuzzi notched a hat trick Saturday in a 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

It was Bertuzzi's first multigoal game since Oct. 14, 2021 when he was with the Red Wings. Plus it came on his 29th birthday. Two of the snipes came on the power play; his third goal won the game. Bertuzzi also got himself in the record books as the first player in Maple Leafs history to score a hat trick on his birthday. It was a great night for the edgy winger, but there's not much to his game from a fantasy perspective. He has 110 shots and 64 hits to go with just 10 goals and 16 assists in 56 games. Bertuzzi is built for the postseason, not the regular one, at least at this point in his career.
