• Sabres' Alex Tuch: Strikes for shortie Saturday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Tuch scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings. The 28-year-old winger opened the scoring midway through the first period by picking the pocket of Dylan Larkin in the neutral zone and then beating Cam Talbot on the ensuing breakaway. It was all the offense the Sabres could muster, however. Tuch is still looking for his first power-play point of the season despite a regular spot on the first unit, but two of his four goals through 12 games have come on the penalty kill -- the first time in his career he's scored multiple shorties in a season.

  Tuch notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Tuch has two goals, five assists, 17 shots on net, nine hits, 12 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-1 rating this season, offering strong category coverage while playing in all situations, including on the top line at even strength.

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Tuch recorded two assists and added five shots, three blocked shots, two PIM, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins. The 28-year-old winger was all over the scoresheet, and both of Tuch's helpers came in the first period as the Sabres surged out to a 3-1 lead. He curiously didn't see a power-play shift for the first time this season, but he hasn't needed it so far, racking up two goals and six points in the last four contests.

• Sabres' Alex Tuch: Nets shortie in loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
