Boston Bruins eliminated, but what a series from ex-Detroit Red Wings' Tyler Bertuzzi

What a performance from former Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi in his playoff debut.

In the 10 years since he was drafted by the Wings, Bertuzzi only played in the postseason at lower levels. But the Boston Bruins' decision to offer a sweet deal for him at this year's trade deadline proved worth it: The gritty winger had a heck of a first-round series, even as it ended in disappointment for the Presidents Trophy Bruins.

Bertuzzi scored his fifth goal on a redirection early in the third period of Sunday's Game 7 against the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.
