Griffins notes: Injured Tyler Bertuzzi getting closer to playing

GRAND RAPIDS - Tyler Bertuzzi, who wasn't even counted on to be with the Grand Rapids Griffins this season, has become a highly-anticipated arrival in what has been a goal-starved start to the season.

The Griffins could use a productive forward. They have five goals in a current four-game winless streak that includes a 3-1 loss Wednesday against Tucson.

Griffins allow 10 power play opportunities to Tucson as they fall two games below .500.

Bertuzzi, the 22-year-old MVP of last season's Calder Cup championship run, has yet to play this season.
