Red Wings prospect Tyler Bertuzzi scores twice; Griffins take 2-0 lead

Chalk up another good outing for Detroit Red Wings prospects in the Calder Cup playoffs.

Tyler Bertuzzi continued an impressive AHL showing with two goals to push the Grand Rapids Griffins past the Milwaukee Admirals, 5-2, today at Van Andel Arena, and grab a 2-0 lead in the best-of five first-round series. The Griffins can advance with a victory Wednesday at Milwaukee. If necessary, Game 4 is Friday, and Game 5 would be May 1 in Grand Rapids.

Bertuzzi now has 16 goals in 25 career Calder Cup playoff games.

Bertuzzi, 22, is a bonus prospect from the 2013 draft.
