The Red Wings also announced that Jakub Vrana will also miss tonight’s game due to personal reasons.
When was Bertuzzi injured?
Bertuzzi was injured during the second period of Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils when he blocked a shot. The Red Wings quickly announced that he would not return to the game and we now know that he will be out for at least a month.
This is obviously a huge loss for the Red Wings as Bertuzzi is coming off a 2021-22 season where he scored 30 goals and dished out 32 assists in 62 games played.
The Detroit Red Wing will host the Los Angeles Kings tonight at Little Caesars Arena.
