Tyler Bertuzzi, Atlantic Division win opening semifinal game

The Atlantic Division all-star team is off to the championship game!

Tyler Bertuzzi, the Red Wings all-star representative, & Co. took the night’s opening 3-on-3 contest, 9-5. They’ll face the winner of the Western Conference semifinal in the championship game. The Atlantic Division has never won the tournament under this current format.

Ironically, despite leading the Red Wings in goals this season with 17, Bertuzzi transformed into a playmaker, assisting on four goals with 7:16 minutes of ice time. Bertuzzi is tied with David Pastrnak and Anthony Duclair for the team lead in points.

Bertuzzi is coming off a fifth place finish in the NHL accuracy shooting competition from last night.
