Bertuzzi left after logging 8:14 TOI and registering an assist and two shots on goal. The Red Wings were off on Sunday, so there was no update on his status, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Kings.
Florida's prized young goaltender will take the crease for his first start of 2022-23. Signing a three-year, $13.5-million contract extension in the offseason, the 21-year-old will be looking to build off an up-and-down first full season in 2022-21, where he posted a .908 SV% and 2.79 GAA backing up the President Trophy winners.
Grzelcyk continues to make progress and was upgraded to "day-to-day" on Friday. The Bruins anticipate that Grzelcyk could play as soon as the end of next week. Grzelcyk will likely take over for Hampus Lindholm on PP1 while Charlie McAvoy is still sidelined, making him a decent waiver wire addition for teams in need of blueline help.
Vlasic was hurt while blocking a shot in practice last week and will miss the season opener but is "feeling much better," according to head coach Luke Richardson. Filip Roos will make his NHL debut in Vlasic's place.
Mikheyev was originally considered week-to-week after suffering a lower-body injury in the preseason. Despite being moved to IR, Mikheyev travelled with the team to Edmonton and may not be sidelined as long as initially feared.
Dickinson, who had 11 points (5G / 6A) in 62 games with the Canucks last season, was going to be at the bottom of the Canucks lineup heading into 2022-23. With Tyler Myers banged up, the Canucks seemed to think they needed defensive depth more than the bottom-6 forward.
Grzelcyk's original timetable was set for mid-November, but the Bruins defenseman is ahead of schedule and expects to be back a couple of weeks earlier. Grzelcyk will likely take over as the quarterback on PP1 while Charlie McAvoy is sidelined.
Grzelcyk had a procedure on his right shoulder in early June and had an expected recovery time of five months. Expect Hampus Lindholm to quarterback the Bruins' No.1 PP unit while Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy are sidelined to open the season.
Knight's new contract does not kick in until next season, he'll play 2022-23 in the final year of his ELC. The 21-year-old will open the season as the No.2 behind Sergei Bobrovsky but could fight for near equal usage. Last season he was 19-9-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .908 SV%.
Burakovsky suffered an undisclosed injury in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and will not play in Game 3. Nicolas Aube-Kubel is expected to replace him in the lineup.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Grzelcyk has been "playing through stuff" and that they need to rest him. Grzelcyk will be replaced by Hampus Lindholm, who is returning from an upper-body injury.
Anderson leads the Marlies with 26 goals, adding 16 assists (42 points) in 55 games. The 23-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 57 career NHL games to date.
