In a recent game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Toronto Maple Leafs faced a tough loss, revealing an intriguing development for Tyler Bertuzzi with head coach Sheldon Keefe.
Despite the team needing energy in the third period, Bertuzzi saw just one shift, raising questions about his standing with Keefe. The move, which limited Bertuzzi to 1 minute and 21 seconds of ice time, is notable given his earlier one-year contract gamble.
While Bertuzzi has contributed 18 points in 40 games this season, his ability to attract suitors may be hindered if his limited deployment persists, adding uncertainty to his future with the Maple Leafs.
