Tuch scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. Tuch ended a four-game point drought with a goal in the first period, but it wasn't enough to give the Sabres the victory after John Tavares' hat trick flipped the script of the contest. Tuch is up to nine goals and 25 points this season across 31 appearances, but he also brings value with his physicality, as he's up to 26 hits and 44 blocked shots.

Tuch scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in 21:37 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks. Tuch had his six-game point streak snapped against Minnesota on Wednesday, but he helped Buffalo earn a point Friday by tying the game at 3-3 in the third period. The right-shot winger scored for the third time in four games, and through 13 games in November, Tuch has found the scoresheet on 10 occasions. The Syracuse native is leading the Sabres in scoring with eight goals, 14 assists and a team-best plus-12 rating over 23 contests.

Tuch scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. Tuch picked off a pass and was off to the races, scoring at 5:27 of the third period. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 28-year-old winger has three goals and six assists during his six-game point streak. For the season, he's up to seven tallies (three shorthanded), 21 points, 49 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-11 rating over 21 appearances. Tuch's offense is rarely in question, but his all-around game has taken a step forward in 2024-25 -- perhaps with shades of former Vegas teammate Mark Stone in terms of defensive effort.

This was Tuch's third multi-point effort during his five-game point streak, a span in which he has two goals and six assists. For the season, the winger is at 20 points (six goals, 14 helpers), 47 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 18 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 20 appearances.

Tuch recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Kings. Tuch had an injury concern during the Sabres' three-day break between games, but he was able to shake it off in time to play Wednesday. He has two goals and seven assists over his last eight contests, getting on the scoresheet in seven of those games. The winger is up to five tallies, 13 helpers, 45 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 16 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 19 appearances. Tuch blocked a career-high 82 shots last season and looks to be pushing even higher in that category in 2024-25, giving him extra value in fantasy formats that reward the defensive metric.
