It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that Tyler Bertuzzi was just looking to crack the Red Wings lineup.
Now he's a mainstay on the top line and on the power-play unit that gets the most time.
Bertuzzi, 24, is making the most of his increased role, leading the team with 24 points (10-14-24) in 30 games.
Last season, Bertuzzi had nine goals and seven assists in his first 30 games.
"It's another year of experience, I would say," Bertuzzi said after Friday's practice at the BELFOR Training Center.
