This will be a season that Tyler Bertuzzi isn’t going to look favorably on.

Bertuzzi was off to one of the best starts of his career when a fluke fall in a late January game in Dallas triggered something in his back.

Bertuzzi’s season basically ended several days later, and back surgery occurred on April 30.

“I’d say the season was obviously tough, and frustrating, for me,” Bertuzzi said Thursday on a Zoom media call.

Now, several weeks after the surgery, Bertuzzi is beginning the process of making sure he’ll be ready for training camp in September. And, he fully expects to be there.

“I’m feeling good right now,” Bertuzzi said. “I know it’s early but I’m looking forward to next season for training camp and for the summer ahead.

“I’m really confident. I’m feeling good.”
