TYLER BERTUZZI

Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi experienced strong, bounce-back seasons, the former from an off year and the later from back surgery. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond emerged as elite rookies.

It was a special moment for me, and they made it even more special.”Bertuzzi joined Dylan Larkin (31) as Red Wings who scored 30 this season. Prior to that, no Red Wing had scored 30 since 2008-09. Scoring 30 goals in this league is a real hard thing to do. “As the season went on, I really wanted (30),” Bertuzzi said. The Red Wings made Bertuzzi a surprise second-round selection in 2013 (58th overall), after he had produced only 19 goals in his first 104 junior games at OHL Guelph.

The Detroit Red Wings turned in the type of staunch defensive performance Sunday they anticipated would be more common this season.

The Red Wings are 3-0 in offside challenges and 6-3 in total challenges.

The Red Wings scored multiple power-play goals for the first time this season, both in the first period, when they led 3-1 despite registering only seven shots on Brossoit. But the Red Wings held on, killing a decent chunk of the clock with a pair of power plays in the final 11:26.

Tyler Bertuzzi and Lucas Raymond went to work in the 3rd period to suddenly swing the Red Wings into a 3-3 tie with the Sabres.

The Detroit Red Wings expected great things from Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond after drafting them fourth and sixth overall, respectively, in 2019 and 2020. It enabled the Red Wings (5-5-2) to salvage what could have been a disastrous four-game road trip and end a four-game slide (0-3-1). The Red Wings, playing their third consecutive game without captain Dylan Larkin (personal reasons), might not have reached OT if not for Raymond’s playmaking. They’ve been pretty good on a night-to-night basis,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “He’s a great competitor, he’s a great person and he’s a hell of a player,” Blashill said.

Moritz Seider scored 3:45 into overtime, Tyler Bertuzzi had two goals and two assists, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3.

The Detroit Red Wings’ first extended road trip of the season was on the verge of being a complete disaster until Tyler Bertuzzi spearheaded a comeback and Moritz Seider sealed the deal. Seider’s first career goal enabled the Red Wings (5-5-2) to end a four-game slide (0-3-1) in their third consecutive game without captain Dylan Larkin, who is away from the team for personal reasons. Suter is the third player the Red Wings have had centering the top line in Larkin’s absence and his line provided an immediate boost. The Red Wings started strong and had two other glorious opportunities on one-timers from Filip Zadina and Robby Fabbri that Tokarski was quick to move side-to-side to deny. The Sabres took a 3-1 lead at 6:08 of the third period when Arttu Ruotsolainen banged in the rebound of Colin Miller’s shot.
