Tyler Bertuzzi starts seasons slowly. He did when he played for the Detroit Red Wings who drafted him in 2013. He did after joining new clubs like the Boston Bruins in 2022 and the Toronto Maples in 2023.

Chicago Blackhawks veteran Tyler Bertuzzi went after Bolts forward Michael Eyssimont for slamming Connor Bedard into the boards during Tuesday's matchup.

Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen have been solid signings for Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson, but the rest of his moves have added very little this season.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Tyler Bertuzzi voiced a sincere statement on playing alongside Connor Bedard on team's first line.

Bertuzzi leads the Blackhawks in goals through 47 games with 17 and has 27 points. While he's effective scoring at 5-on-5 with nine goals playing the way he does, his net front presence on the power play has allowed him to get eight goals with the man advantage this season too.

BOTTOM LINE: Central Division foes meet when the Chicago Blackhawks take on the Minnesota Wild. Chicago is 4-9-2 against the Central Division and 15-28-5 overall. The Blackhawks are 3-7-4 in one-goal games.

Tyler Bertuzzi scored two power-play goals and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the slumping Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 to end a four-game losing streak.

Tomas Hertl scored twice and had an assist, and Shea Theodore had two assists for the Golden Knights (29-14-3), who have lost three in a row and five of six (1-5-0). Ilya Samsonov made 18 saves and had an assist. It was the second of back-to-back games for Vegas, which lost 3-2 at the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.

The Chicago Blackhawks have an embarrassing history against the Minnesota Wild, but they nearly outdid themselves Sunday at the United Center.

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson wanted to clear up at least one thing about the Taylor Hall trade: He was going to move Hall sooner or later. So Friday’s three-team deal was just a means to an end,
