In his brief tenure in Boston, Bertuzzi has quickly become a fan favorite due to his gritty, physical play, which perfectly aligns with the Bruins' supporters' preferences.
Having already made a significant contribution with two assists, the winger pulled out all the stops to get under the skin of his rivals. This was especially evident in the third period when he craftily snatched Nick Cousins' stick during a shift change.
Bertuzzi then attempted to snap the Panthers' forward's stick in half. See for yourself in the clip below:
During the 21 regular season games, Bertuzzi notched 4 goals and 12 assists. However, his most noteworthy accomplishment has been the seamless chemistry he's developed with David Pastrnak.
