10 months agoThe Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in bringing back veteran forwards Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi as long as it makes sense for both parties, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. Both players signed one-year pacts with the Leafs last offseason and both got off to slow starts before getting things turned around offensively and finishing the season on the flanks of superstar center Auston Matthews. Bertuzzi finished the season with 21 goals and 43 points across 80 games but also tallied 15 goals and 23 points across his final 34 regular-season games. For his part, Domi recorded nine goals and 38 points in 80 games, including 17 points across his final 21 contests.

10 months agoAccording to NHL insider David Pagnotta, the Toronto Maple Leafs have started contract negotiations with Tyler Bertuzzi. Bertuzzi, who signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the club last offseason, is a pending unrestricted free agent. It was a down year for Bertuzzi, but the team clearly still sees him as a very valuable member of the squad and wants to extend his stay. After averaging at least 0.60 points per game for five straight seasons, Bertuzzi was limited to 21 goals and 43 points in 80 games with the Maple Leafs.

1 year agoToronto Maple Leafs winger Tyler Bertuzzi is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the visiting Edmonton Oilers. Bertuzzi has been slowed by an illness of late but skated on Saturday morning. Head coach Sheldon Keefe noted that the veteran is still no sure thing to play Saturday evening. The Leafs signed Bertuzzi to a one-year deal this past offseason and after a sluggish start, he has caught fire of late with eight goals and 11 points over his last 12 games while spending some time on the top line alongside sniper Auston Matthews. For the season, Bertuzzi has tallied 15 goals and 34 points across 67 games, adding 129 shots and 78 hits to his ledger.

1 year agoToronto Maple Leafs left winger Tyler Bertuzzi continued his hot stretch as part of a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. The 29-year-old was reunited with Auston Matthews on the Leafs' top line and notched a goal and an assist on two shots and was a plus-three as part of his 18:04 of ice time. Once mired in a lengthy goal drought, Bertuzzi now has six goals over his last nine games, giving him 13 goals and 31 points on 123 shots and 75 hits across 64 games on the season. Signed to a one-year deal last summer, Bertuzzi posted 30 points in 50 games last season and posted a career-high 30 goals and 62 points across 68 games in the 2021-22 season. As long as he remains on the top line, he carries additional fantasy value down the stretch.
