Bertuzzi declined to be vaccinated for COVID-19, making him ineligible to play in Canada in 2021-22.

Bertuzzi will be in training camp and will be forced to follow more strict guidelines but will be eligible to play in all games in the United States. The Red Wings play nine games in Canada this season, so Bertuzzi will be suspended without pay for those games under the agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA.

Bertuzzi (upper-body) is expected to miss at least the next 4-6 games.

Bertuzzi, who was hurt last Saturday vs. the Panthers, did not travel to start the Red Wings six-game road-trip. Head coach Jeff Blashill said he'll definitely be out for the first four games of the trip and may miss all six. This is a tough break for Bertuzzi, who was red-hot to start the season, posting seven points (5G / 2A) in his first nine games.

The Red Wings have signed Tyler Bertuzzi to a two-year, $2.4M ($1.2M AAV) contract extension.

Bertuzzi appeared in a career-high 48 games with the Red Wings in 2018, collecting seven goals and 17 assists (24 points) in 48 games. Including the playoffs, Bertuzzi has scored 28 goals with 42 assists (70 points) in his last 83 AHL games. The 23-year-old will be a full-time NHLer in 2019 and could play in the Red Wings’ top-6.

Bertuzzi will miss 3-4 weeks with tendon inflammation in his wrist.

This is an unfortunate injury for Bertuzzi, who was expected to open the season with the Red Wings after dazzling in the AHL playoffs last spring. Bertuzzi could still be a Red Wing when he’s healthy, but this injury opens the door for Martin Frk or Luke Witkowski to open the season as their No.12 forward.

The Red Wings have placed Tyler Bertuzzi (lower-body) on IR.

Bertuzzi had to be helped off of the ice during the Red Wings’ overtime loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. Bertuzzi’s injury will force him to miss at least one week, so they’ve placed him on IR. Tomas Jurco has been recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) to take Bertuzzi’s spot on the roster.
