Bertuzzi scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 loss to Buffalo.
He had one shot and two hits in 16:18 of ice time. Bertuzzi provides the Hawks strong veteran leadership, and he is coming off a near career-high 58 points, including 32 goals, last year. At 31, Bert can't carry this team, especially with Connor Bedard (shoulder) still out. He may be a bit of a buy-low early this season as a result, so monitor him. His production will go up when Bedard returns.
