A lineup built to just get to the end of the season on bloody nubs Thursday night. All the younger players have been previously sent back to Grand Rapids to chase another Calder Cup. Tyler Bertuzzi still skating in the lineup, hopefully logging some bigger minutes now that there has been some roster shuffling. His uncle was in attendance, presumably to see him play and to see some old friends.
Montreal picked up the first tally over six minutes in. Nicolas Deslauriers picked up a redirect from Noah Juulsen. Shortly after, Tyler Bertuzzi drew a penalty to put the Wings on the man advantage.
