Knight will start Tuesday in Tampa.
Mikheyev will undergo surgery on his thumb and is expected to miss at least eight weeks.
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.
