The Boston Bruins acquired forward Tyler Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for a protected 2024 first-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick.
The Red Wings will retain 50 percent of Bertuzzi's $4.75 million salary. He is in the final year of a two-year, $9.5 million contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason.
Bertuzzi has registered four goals and 14 points in 29 games this season after missing significant time with a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old is coming off a 30-goal, 62-point campaign, the best of his seven-year NHL career.
