Tyler Bertuzzi scores in return, Detroit Red Wings top Penguins 4-2 in exhibition

The Detroit Red Wings didn’t get much of a test in their penultimate exhibition game, but they welcomed back a teammate for the first time in nine months.

Tyler Bertuzzi mixed it up like old times Thursday at Little Caesars Arena as the Wings faced a Pittsburgh Penguins team lacking in star power. Joe Veleno scored on a one-timer with 4:32 to play in the third period and Bertuzzi added an empty-net goal to secure a 4-2 victory.

It was the second goal for Veleno, a first-round pick from 2018. Moritz Seider picked up his second preseason assist on the play.
