With the light all but extinguished on this season, Tyler Bertuzzi's near-grasp of a milestone casts a glow towards the future.
He's within one goal of 30 entering the final week of the Detroit Red Wings' season, recording his 29th in an unlikely fashion in Sunday's 3-0 victory in New Jersey. He fired the puck from just outside the Devils' blue line, sending it into an empty net.
He has built his reputation by being around the net, absorbing physical punishment to score in tough areas.
