Tyler Bertuzzi may already be dealing with injury troubles!

The Toronto Maple Leafs added some much-needed sandpaper into their lineup with the signing of scrappy forward Tyler Bertuzzi, who agreed to a one-year contract courtesy of new general manager Brad Treliving. 

It was speculated that he departed the Detroit Red Wings due to GM Steve Yzerman's reported unwillingness to give him a long-term contract owing to injury concerns thanks to his style of play. He was only able to secure a one-year contract from the Leafs after also having received the same offer from Boston. 

But Bertuzzi has already missed a Leafs practice thanks to a "maintenance" day, and there is also doubt that he could play tonight against the Florida Panthers. Right now, head coach Sheldon Keefe anticipates him being able to suit up, though he's taking warmups and a decision will be made afterward. 

Bertuzzi has already tallied a goal so far in his short term with the Leafs, but it looks as though he's already dealing with physical setbacks.
