Bruins' Tyler Bertuzzi: Pots first goal with Boston
Rotowire
Bertuzzi picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
His first goal in a Bruins jersey came on a fluke play, as his centering attempt from behind the Montreal net banked off a defender's leg and Jake Allen's pad before finding twine, but it counts all the same. Bertuzzi has five points in his last six games and appears to be settling in nicely as a source of secondary offense for Boston.

Bruins' Tyler Bertuzzi: Coming to Beantown
Rotowire
Bertuzzi was acquired by the Bruins from the Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for a 2024 first-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round selection, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Bertuzzi joins a Boston squad that is already sitting atop the NHL standings and leading the Presidents' Trophy race. In the short term, Bertuzzi figures to slot into a second-line role while Taylor Hall (lower body) is sidelined. Even once Hall returns, the 28-year-old Bertuzzi should challenge for a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Red Wings' Tyler Bertuzzi: Notches helper Saturday
Rotowire
Bertuzzi produced an assist, two shots on goal and 10 PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
Bertuzzi was most active late in the third period, setting up a Dylan Larkin goal and getting into a scuffle that led to 10-minute misconducts for him and Brandon Tanev. Since the All-Star break, Bertuzzi has been both healthy and effective -- he has two goals and five helpers in his last seven games. The winger is up to 12 points, 48 shots on net, 22 hits, 13 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 24 appearances. He's worth a look in fantasy while logging top-line minutes alongside Larkin, though there's still a chance Bertuzzi, a pending free agent, could be dealt before the March 3 deadline.

Red Wings' Tyler Bertuzzi: Slides helper in win
Rotowire
Bertuzzi notched a power-play assist in Monday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Bertuzzi has a goal and two power-play helpers over four games since the All-Star break. It appears the break came at a good time -- he had just one helper in eight outings prior to the midseason intermission. The 27-year-old's had a rough season due to injuries, which have limited him to eight points, 41 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 21 appearances. He's still playing in a top-six role at even strength with ample power-play time, so there's some potential here if he's available on the waiver wire.
