Tyler Bertuzzi has undergone surgery for the second time in two months and will miss six weeks this time.
That's the news Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde delivered Friday morning, as the Wings prepared to move on with Saturday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
"He had successful surgery this morning and will be out about six weeks," Lalonde said. "Upper body, very similar to the injury he had previously."
Bertuzzi was injured with four minutes to go in the third period of Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss against the Buffalo Sabres, when he was hit in the left hand by a point shot taken by teammate Ben Chiarot.
