Blackhawks' Tyler Bertuzzi: Finds twine in loss
Tyler Bertuzzi scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.Bertuzzi ended a three-game dry spell with his first-period tally. The winger hasn't found much consistency in a middle-six role yet -- this was his first even-strength point of the season. Bertuzzi has three goals, 24 shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a minus-5 rating through 11 outings overall. Until he can put up offense more regularly, he likely doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Blackhawks' Tyler Bertuzzi: Nets goal Tuesday
Tyler Bertuzzi netted a goal on the power play in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.In addition to scoring his second goal of the season, Bertuzzi logged five shots, two blocks, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 14:51 of ice time. The left-shot winger has scored twice in his last three appearances, but he's yet to register an assist this season.

Blackhawks' Tyler Bertuzzi: Buries power-play goal
Tyler Bertuzzi scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.Bertuzzi gave the Chicago Blackhawks a 2-0 lead late in the first period with his first goal and point for the team. The winger signed a four-year contract in July, but he'd gotten off to a slow start while playing on the second line and first power-play unit. Bertuzzi has added eight shots on net, four hits and a minus-2 rating through five appearances. The Blackhawks have an abundance of left-shot wingers, which has forced Bertuzzi onto his off side -- that could at least partly explain his slow start to the campaign.

Blackhawks' Tyler Bertuzzi: Secures four-year deal
Tyler Bertuzzi agreed to terms on a four-year, $22 million contract with Chicago on Monday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.Bertuzzi was reportedly interested in staying with the Maple Leafs, but the club was priced out by this deal from the Chicago Blackhawks. The 29-year-old Ontario native is coming off a bounce-back 2023-24 campaign that saw him get back over the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds. Bertuzzi figures to slot into a top-six role for Chicago and could even push to play with Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard on the top line. That assignment would certainly bolster Bertuzzi's fantasy outlook heading into next season, as could a larger power-play role after he was limited to second-unit duties in Toronto.

Maple Leafs' Tyler Bertuzzi: Notches assist in Game 2 win
Tyler Bertuzzi emerged with a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Bruins for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.Bertuzzi, who was with Boston this time last year, nearly had a two-point night, but what initially appeared to be a power-play tally from the winger ended up getting overturned since he knocked the puck with a high stick during the play. Still, in a matter of minutes, he found John Tavares with a primary apple on the man advantage for the game-tying goal. Bertuzzi's fiery playing style works well in a playoff setting, but it will be important for him to stay aggressive without losing his cool and getting whistled for costly penalties.
