Top Alex Tuch News

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Supplies winning goal in finale

    Tuch netted the game-winning goal in Buffalo's 5-2 win over Columbus on Friday.

    That extended Tuch's scoring streak to six games, during which he contributed a goal and seven points. He's finished the season with career highs in goals (36) and points (79) over 74 contests. That's a ton of production to get out of Tuch relative to his seven-year, $33.25 million contract ($4.75 million cap hit), which won't expire until the summer of 2026.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Second career hat trick

    Tuch scored a hat trick Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Flyers.

    His first put the Sabres up 2-1 early in the second. Tuch wired a shot from the slot that beat Felix Sandstrom. He went blocker side from the top of the right circle for his second late in the second frame. And Tuch finished the scoring and nailed down his second NHL hat trick with a shorthanded snipe late in the third period. His first hattie came in October against the Flames. Tuch now has 35 goals and 72 points in 67 games.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Three-point eruption Friday

    Tuch scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Devils.

    Both tallies came in the second period as the Sabres raced out to a 5-2 lead they nearly coughed up in the third. It's Tuch's second two-goal performance in six games since returning from a lower-body injury, and on the season the 26-year-old has already established new career highs with 32 goals -- eight of them game-winners -- and 68 points, including eight goals and 17 points with the man advantage.

The 26-year-old winger is up to 64 points this season, a career high, with 30 goals and 34 assists through 58 games.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Removed from injured reserve

    Tuch (lower body) had been activated off injured reserve ahead of Monday's matchup with Toronto, per the NHL media site.

    Tuch was officially labeled a game-time call, but the fact that the team took him of injured reserve clears the way for him to play Monday. The 26-year-old winger will be back in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 24 versus the Panthers, a stretch of eight games on injured reserve.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Game-time call

    Tuch (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision Monday against Toronto, Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site reports.

    Tuch fully participated in Monday's morning skate after returning to practice Sunday. It appears probable that he will return to the lineup against the Leafs following an eight-game absence. If Tuch is activated from injured reserve, he should skate on the first line of the Sabres as well as see time on the top power-play unit.
