He set a new career-high in points with 48 in 71 games and scored 21 goals for a second consecutive season. His physical abilities were also on display to an extent with 71 hits. His scoring rate didn&#8217;t improve a great deal despite playing almost three more minutes per game compared to 2018-19, but one advanced stat definitely stands out. Bertuzzi&#8217;s Relative Corsi For exploded from 2.8 two seasons ago to 5.1 in the most recent. The figure was third on the team behind only fellow stars <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/larkidy01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dylan Larkin<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/manthan01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Mantha<\/a><\/strong>. The chemistry between those three was a huge boost to team offence.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Wings selected Bertuzzi in the second round of the 2013 Draft but he didn&#8217;t see full action until 2017-18. That was his first year with double-digit appearances. He scored seven goals and 24 points in 48 games. His possession numbers are slightly below-average for a player with his offensive output but he does so much on a Detroit team starved of talent.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Bertuzzi is a lock for Detroit&#8217;s top-six going in 2020-21. He will probably skate next to Larkin and Mantha yet again as one of the league&#8217;s best young lines. Mantha is currently a restricted free agent but is expected to re-sign with the club. The trio was the only thing worth noting last year, but they need help for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit has been an active team this offseason. They have made a handful of signings that should net them a few more wins moving forward.
