Bertuzzi is off to an uneven start with the Leafs. He was added to the group in hopes of providing better than secondary offense, and physical push back against opponents.
He has been shuffled up and down the lineup in the last three games, and benched for long stretches.
Monitor the opportunity he gets to reset his game. If provided runway he needs to establish himself in the hard areas of the ice. Battle along the boards to extend plays. Remain on the defensive side of the puck in his zone / don't blow the zone looking for offense until his group has control of the play / and set screens around the crease in the offensive zone.
Needs to play to a reliable identity.
His first ten games resulted in an average 15:26 TOI - 14:05 ES - 1:20 PP
2G - 1A - 12 PIMS - (+1) ... but his ice time has been trending down recently.
