During the 2024 NHL off-season, the Chicago Blackhawks signed forward Tyler Bertuzzi to a four-year, $22 million contract in free agency. In 82 games with the Blackhawks during the 2024-25 season, he had 23 goals, 23 assists, and 46 points. Overall, the 2013 second-round pick had a decent first season with the Blackhawks.
However, Bertuzzi has undoubtedly made a more significant impact during his second season with the Blackhawks. In fact, the 31-year-old winger is having one of the best seasons of his career and is inches away from hitting an impressive single-season milestone because of it.

In 64 games this season with the Blackhawks, Bertuzzi has 28 goals, 21 assists, and 49 points. With this, he needs only two more goals to hit the 30-goal mark for the second time in his career. He also needs only three more goals this season to set a new career high with 31.
With numbers like these, there is no question that Bertuzzi has been impressing with the Blackhawks this season. He has a decent amount of time to score his 30th goal of the season, too, as the Blackhawks have 15 games remaining. It will be interesting to see how many goals Bertuzzi has once the season is over from here.
