Red Wings prospect Tyler Bertuzzi the definition of playoff performer

Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press

The compliment is simple, yet says so much.

As the Grand Rapids Griffins head into Friday’s Game 4 of the Calder Cup final against Syracuse, one of reasons they are within two victories of celebrating is Tyler Bertuzzi.

Bertuzzi thrives this time of year; put him in a playoff game and watch him produce.

Bertuzzi has 13 points in 16 games this spring – during which the Griffins have gone 13-3. He scored his eighth goal of the playoffs during Wednesday’s 5-3 loss.
