Bertuzzi helps Red Wings again to a 2-1 win against Minnesota in a shootout Bilde?NewTbl=1&Site=C4&Date=20110220&Category=SPORTS05&ArtNo=102200802&Ref=PH&Item=2&Maxw=640&Maxh=410&q=60

Todd Bertuzzi's 1,000th career game came to a fitting and dramatic conclusion, when he slowed in front of the net and veered right before flipping a backhander over Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom into the far upper corner to clinch a 2-1 shootout win for Detroit.

With help from goalie Jimmy Howard, Bertuzzi savored a victory over his old nemesis the Wild, the fifth straight for the Red Wings.

Bertuzzi became the 263rd player in NHL history, 33 of them still active, to reach the 1,000-game milestone. Family members were here to mark the occasion

With two goals apiece in three of his previous four games, the revitalized 36-year-old is becoming a bigger part of the push to catch his old team the Canucks in the Western Conference.

After Pavel Datsyuk pushed a wrister past Backstrom in the first round, Howard denied the Wild’s Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Matt Cullen to set up Bertuzzi’s winner. Backstrom said he thought he had it. Howard has yielded one shootout goal in 14 tries this season.
