Fantasy Analysis
Bertuzzi had 14 goals and 26 assists last season for the Anaheim Ducks. The 6-foot-3, 231-pound forward has 580 points in 793 career regular-season games. Consider him an injury-risk sleeper on Fantasy Draft Day 2008 who should easily top 40 points alongside guys like Iginla and will rack up close to 100 penalty minutes. (Updated 07/07/2008).
