The Detroit Red Wings are aiming for a second win against the Minnesota Wild in as many days, but they’ll need to play Sunday without Todd Bertuzzi.

The big winger is out with the flu and will make way for Joakim Andersson, according to the team.

Bertuzzi, 39, is in his fifth season with the team. His effectiveness seems to dip with each season, as he only has 16 points and a -17 rating in 54 games for Detroit. Andersson, 25, has 15 points in 58 games with a -10 rating himself.
