St. Louis, Mo. — Tyler Bertuzzi is moving up.
Bertuzzi, who was playing on the fourth line and seeing minimal minutes in recent games, found himself on the second line at Wednesday’s morning skate, playing alongside Dylan Larkin and Andreas Athanasiou.
Any young player wants a chance, and Bertuzzi has gotten one in this case.
“It’s a huge part of my career, a big learning thing for me to be in a second-line spot,” Bertuzzi said.
