Tuch scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

Tuch got the Sabres on the board with his unassisted tally late in the second period, but the Kings stormed back with an Anze Kopitar hat trick in the third. Through three games, Tuch has a goal, an assist, six shots, five hits, four blocked shots and seven PIM. The Sabres have scored just three times this season, so the winger is doing pretty well given the circumstances. He should continue to play a top-six role and will likely see steady production once the team's offense wakes up.
