Inside the Article:

During Thursday night’s game against the Las Vegas Knights, Detroit Red Wings F Tyler Bertuzzi was forced to leave the game early after suffering what was later described as a “lower-body” injury. Bertuzzi played the first two periods but was unable to play during the third period after suffering the injury. There was never any point during the first two periods that Bertuzzi took a big hit, so the injury was a bit of a mystery. On Saturday, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde gave a promising update on Bertuzzi.

Why it Matters

This is the third time Bertuzzi has been injured
