Boston Bruins acquired Tyler Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday for a top-10 protected first-round pick in 2024 and a fourth-rounder in 2025. Detroit will still pay half of Bertuzzi’s salary for the rest of the season.
Bertuzzi is a 28-year-old pending free agent winger who gives Boston depth up front and insurance for injured winger Taylor Hall. Bertuzzi has 14 points in 29 games this season and 88 goals and 114 assists in 305 regular-season games.
The Bruins are on pace for 64 wins and 135 points, which would be the best regular season in hockey history with records in each of those categories and this way Bertuzzi will reach hist first NHL playoffs.
