DETROIT -- The Red Wings announced today that the club has signed free agent forward Todd Bertuzzi to a one-year contract. In accordance with team policy, additional terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Bertuzzi, 34, was originally a first round draft pick (23rd overall) of the New York Islanders in 1993.
