Top Alex Tuch News

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Contributes two more assists

    Tuch notched two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

    This was Tuch's second multi-point effort in a row after going 16 games without one. He helped out on both of Rasmus Dahlin's goals in Tuesday's loss. Tuch is firmly in a top-six role, one that's helped him produce 46 points, 156 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-2 rating over 63 appearances this season.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Earns two points in win

    Tuch scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

The winger is up to 19 goals, 44 points, 156 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 57 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 62 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Tallies in comeback win

    Tuch scored in Buffalo's 3-2 overtime win against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

    Tuch tallied his 17th goal of the campaign. It would be easy to see this season as a disappointment after he scored 36 goals last year. However, his 13 shooting percentage is still above Tuch's career average, and with him playing on the top line he could be in line for a productive stretch to finish the season.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Fires home shorthanded winner

    Tuch scored the game-winning goal while the Sabres were shorthanded in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Canadiens.

    With less than two minutes left in the second period, Tuch jumped on a loose puck in the neutral zone and turned on the jets for a breakaway before snapping a shot past Sam Montembeault. The 27-year-old winger had trouble building much momentum early in the season, but since the calendar flipped to 2024 Tuch has been a consistent contributor, racking up seven goals and 14 points in 18 games.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two-point effort Tuesday

    Tuch delivered a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

    The line of Tuch, Casey Mittelstadt and Jeff Skinner accounted for all of Buffalo's offense on the night, with Tuch adding his tally early in the second period to briefly tie the game at 2-2. The 27-year-old has a modest three-game point streak going, and since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-December, he's produced three goals and 12 points in 12 games.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: First goal in nine games

    Tuch scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh.

    He had missed practice Friday because of an illness but looked solid in 19:06 of ice time during Saturday's win. Tuch opened the scoring on the Sabres' second shot on goal in the first period. He took a stretch pass from Connor Clifton and went high blocker side with a snap shot from the high slot. It was Tuch's first goal in nine games (one goal, seven assists). He has 10 goals, 27 points and 81 shots on net over 33 contests this campaign.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Good to go Saturday

    Coach Don Granato pronounced Tuch (illness) ready to play Saturday versus Pittsburgh, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

    Tuch was at morning practice Saturday after missing Friday's skate. He was ill Thursday but managed to play in Montreal, picking up a pair of assists. The points snapped a four-game drought and gave the winger nine goals and 26 points in 32 games. Tuch will line up alongside Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner on the top line, and will see first unit power-play time.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Misses practice with illness

    Per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, Tuch was unable to practice Friday due to an illness.

    Tuch managed a pair of assists Thursday in Montreal, snapping a four-game pointless streak. The winger has nine goals and 26 points in 32 games, playing mostly on the top line with Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner when all three are healthy. Tuch should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Four helpers in Thursday's rout

    Tuch notched four assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Buffalo's top line of Tuch, Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner nearly downed Toronto on its own, combining for three goals and 10 points on the night. All three of them have missed time in December, with Tuch sitting for four games due to a lower-body injury, but now that the unit is fully healthy, it could be prepared to erupt. Through 27 games on the season, Tuch has nine goals and 24 points.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two points against old team

    Tuch scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Tuch played a big part in the Sabres' third-period rally, setting up Zach Benson's go-ahead goal before scoring an insurance tally of his own. The 27-year-old Tuch has five points over five career games versus Vegas, the team he broke into the NHL with before he was traded to Buffalo in the Jack Eichel deal. This was Tuch's second game back from a lower-body injury. He's now at nine goals, 19 points, 64 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 24 appearances this season.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Update coming Monday

    Head coach Don Granato expects to have an update Monday on Tuch (undisclosed), who exited Sunday's 2-1 loss to Nashville, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Tuch logged four shots on goal with a minus-1 rating in 16:19 of ice time during Sunday's loss to Nashville. The 27-year-old left in the third period but may still be going through testing.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Tallies two goals in victory

    Tuch netted two goals in a 5-1 win over the Rangers on Monday.

    Tuch's first goal, which came late in the second period, put the Sabres up 2-0 and proved to be the game-winner. He's on a three-game scoring streak with three goals and five points over that span. Through 19 outings this campaign, Tuch has eight goals and 16 points. That's somewhat off from his 79-point showing in 2022-23, but Tuch also recorded just 88 points in 147 appearances from 2019-20 through 2021-22, so it's not unreasonable that he's seen some decline compared to last year's highs.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Registers two-point night

    Tuch notched one goal and one assist in Friday's 3-2 win against the Penguins.

    Tuch had the primary assist on Jeff Skinner's power-play goal at 5:13 of the third period, cutting the lead to 2-1. Tuch broke a 2-2- tie at the 17:16 mark of the third, and it held up as the game-winner. He has provided five goals, including two game-winners, in his past six outings.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Nets goal in return

    Tuch scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

    Tuch returned from a three-game absence with an upper-body injury and led all Sabres forwards with 20:29 of ice time. The 27-year-old has scored four times over his last three games, and he'll be asked to carry more of the scoring load with Tage Thompson (upper body) on injured reserve with a week-to-week status. Tuch is up to 11 points, 33 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 14 appearances. He should be a fixture on the top line going forward.
