The Blackhawks have signed Colton Dach to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Bertuzzi declined to be vaccinated for COVID-19, making him ineligible to play in Canada in 2021-22.
Bertuzzi will be in training camp and will be forced to follow more strict guidelines but will be eligible to play in all games in the United States. The Red Wings play nine games in Canada this season, so Bertuzzi will be suspended without pay for those games under the agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA.

The Golden Knights have signed Laurent Brossoit to a two-year contract worth $4.65 million ($2.325M AAV).
The Canucks have acquired Jason Dickinson from the Stars for a 3rd round pick.
Dickinson is a pending RFA and the Stars were likely worried about losing him for nothing in the Expansion Draft, so they get a third-round pick in return by sending him to Vancouver. Dickinson has averaged 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) per 82-games over the last three seasons. The Canucks have protected Dickinson in the Expansion Draft.
The Jets have signed Dominic Toninato to a two-year contract extension.
The Blackhawks have signed Jakub Pour to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Line Change
Toninato will come out of the Jets lineup for Game 2.
Foligno (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play in Game 6.
Foligno (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 6.
Foligno remains day-to-day and will not play in Game 5.
Foligno will miss his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury that he suffered in Game 2. With Foligno and John Tavares both still out, Alex Kerfoot, William Nylander and Alex Galchenyuk will continue to skate as the Maple Leafs' second line.
Goalie Start
Knight will start Game 6 in Tampa.
