Bertuzzi Undergoes Surgery; Expected to Miss Six Weeks

For the second time this season, the Red Wings will be without Tyler Bertuzzi for an extended period of time.

The team confirmed Bertuzzi underwent surgery on his left hand Friday morning (the opposite hand of the one injured earlier this year.) Per Derek Lalonde, he’s expected to miss six weeks. As we wrote yesterday, the Wings had already put Bertuzzi on Injured Reserve and recalled Austin Czarnik from Grand Rapids.
