Red Wings may have suffered another significant injury

The bad luck continues.

The good news is that the Detroit Red Wings were able to rebound from falling behind to their Atlantic Division rival Buffalo Sabres by a 4-1 score, rallying with three goals in the third period to eventually earn a point in what would be a 5-4 shootout setback.

However, the bad news is that forward Tyler Bertuzzi, who had just returned from a broken hand suffered from blocking a shot, was forced from last night's game after once again blocking a shot. Though he was seen back on the bench during overtime, he didn't hit the ice. 

This time, it was friendly fire, as he was struck by a shot attempt from teammate Ben Chiarot. And according to head coach Derek Lalonde, Bertuzzi wasn't able to give it a go for the rest of the night. 

"I wanted to use him in overtime but he couldn’t go," coach Derek Lalonde said. "We'll know more after."

It's taken the gritty forward a bit to get his sea legs since his return, having tallied only one goal along with three assists.
