Top Alex Tuch News

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Scores in loss to Toronto

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Scores in defeat

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Intercepts pass for shortie

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: One of each Friday

    Tuch scored a goal, added an assist and logged two hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.

    Tuch was credited with the Sabres' first goal, which was officially judged an own goal by the Ducks. He also earned a helper on Jiri Kulich's tally in overtime. 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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Notches power-play helper

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Expected to play Wednesday

    Tuch (undisclosed) is expected to play Wednesday against the Kings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Tuch missed Monday's practice session due to an undisclosed injury, but the issue was believed to be minor, and he returned to practice Tuesday. Head coach Lindy Ruff said after Wednesday's morning skate that he expects Tuch to suit up against Los Angeles, so it doesn't appear as though the 28-year-old will be forced to miss any time. Over eight appearances in November, Tuch has tallied two goals and eight points while averaging 20:20 of ice time.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Practices Tuesday

    Tuch (undisclosed) practiced Tuesday after missing Monday's practice session.

    Tuch is dealing with what's believed to be a minor issue, and his attendance at practice Tuesday is a positive sign. He'll still need to get through Wednesday's morning skate without a setback before his status for that night's game versus the Kings is determined.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Questionable Wednesday

    Tuch is a doubt to face the Kings on Wednesday after missing practice Monday with an undisclosed injury, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Tuch is riding a three-game point streak, during which he has notched one goal and four assists, including one power-play point. With Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) out on a week-to-week basis and Tage Thompson (lower body) still questionable, the Sabres would likely need to recall a forward from AHL Rochester if Tuch can't play in Wednesday's contest.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: One of each in win

    Tuch registered a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

The right-shot winger added four shots, one block, two hits and a plus-2 rating in 21:26 of ice time. Tuch has only been held off the scoresheet once over his last six games, and he's produced back-to-back multi-point performances. Overall, the Syracuse native is up to five goals, 11 assists and a plus-9 rating through 17 outings. Tuch trails only Tage Thompson for the team lead in points (18).

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Earns two assists Monday

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Strikes for shortie Saturday

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two-point effort Tuesday

    Tuch scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

    It was the third multi-point performance in Tuch's last five appearances, as the Sabres' top line has caught fire. On the season, the 28-year-old has produced three goals and nine points in eight outings as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 campaign.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Hands out helper in win

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

He made sure it didn't become a slump when he helped out on Tage Thompson's first-period tally. 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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Busy in Wednesday's OT loss

    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: Two-point effort in win

    Tuch scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

    The 28-year-old winger helped set up Tage Thompson for a first-period tally that put the Sabres in the lead for good, and Tuch then capped the scoring in the third with an empty-netter. He's collected two goals and four points over the last three games, a strong start to the campaign as Tuch looks to regain the form he flashed in a career-best 2022-23, when he racked up 36 goals and 79 points in 74 contests.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Nets shortie in loss

    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.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Adds another goal in loss

    Tuch scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

    Tuch opened the scoring 4:09 into the first period Tuesday, deflecting a Henri Jokiharju shot past Jake Oettinger to give Buffalo an early 1-0 lead. It's just the second goal in 10 games for Tuch, though the 27-year-old winger's been productive with 12 assists in that span. Tuch's up to 21 goals and 58 points through 72 games this season. While he's been solid, it's a significant step back from last year's 36-goal, 79-point campaign.
