Detroit — The Red Wings will be ready to hit the ice Thursday for the first day of training camp and in this new world are all vaccinated — except for Tyler Bertuzzi.
General manager Steve Yzerman, in his pre-training camp Zoom session Wednesday, said Bertuzzi is the lone player to choose to not be vaccinated heading into the season.
Yzerman said he isn't disappointed. But Bertuzzi will follow NHL protocols for non-vaccinated players, most notably, not being able to play games in Canada.
"It's his decision," said Yzerman of Bertuzzi's choice to not get vaccinated.
