Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi has been in many games like this at Little Caesars Arena — especially in recent weeks.
But as it turns out, even a trade to the NHL's top team can't stop him from ending up on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
The Detroit Red Wings exploded for three second-period goals in Bertuzzi's homecoming and weathered a third-period comeback attempt by the league-leading Bruins to escape with a 5-3 win. One day prior, the Bruins overcame a 2-0 deficit in Boston to beat the Red Wings, 3-2.
Alex Chiasson, Moritz Seider, Dylan Larkin, Adam Erne and Andrew Copp scored for the Red Wings (30-27-9), who had lost six of seven entering Sunday.
