Bertuzzi has slowed down a lot after a toll of injuries that included serious back problems a few years ago, but at 37 years old, he is still grinding his way in the NHL. He played last season on the Detroit Red Wings' top line with Pavel Datsyuk and could very well play there again this season. But maintaining his role won't come easily, because a couple of rookies will be challenging for roles in the Red Wings' top six; Bertuzzi is certainly one of the main targets for them to beat out.
