Bertuzzi making his mark with surging Storm
By Matthew Wuest, Red Wings Central
Tyler Bertuzzi wasn’t drafted for his point-production, but he’s doing plenty of it this season.
With a one-goal, four-assist showing last Friday against the Kitchener Rangers, the Guelph Storm left-winger upped his numbers this season to 21 points in 16 games, tied for 25th in the Ontario Hockey League.
“It’s good to get the confidence up with five points,” Bertuzzi told GuelphStorm.com after his big game. “Me and Fabbs (Robby Fabbri), we had some chemistry, and it was working good for us.”
The Red Wings drafted Bertuzzi high relative to his Central Scouting ranking of 207th among North Americans, taking him in the second round, 58th overall, and comparing him to Chicago Blackhawks agitator Andrew Shaw.
