Tuch scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and logged two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch earned his second three-point game in a row, and he has three goals and five helpers over his last four outings. He also ended his power-play drought -- his second assist Saturday set up Dylan Cozens' tally with the man advantage, giving Tuch his first power-play point since Dec. 5. The winger continues to play a strong all-around game, earning 19 goals, 24 helpers, 124 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-15 rating through 54 appearances this season.

Tuch scored two goals, one the game-winner, and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Both his tallies came in the second period, when he tipped home point shots by Dennis Gilbert and Rasmus Dahlin. Tuch has been hot over the last month, racking up six goals and 12 points over the last 13 games, and he's two tallies short of his third straight 20-goal campaign, and the fourth of his career.

Tuch logged a shorthanded assist, four shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The two-way forward continues to impress. He has four goals and five helpers over his last 12 outings after setting up a Ryan McLeod tally late in the first period Sunday. Tuch is up to 37 points (four on the power play, four shorthanded), 117 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 43 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 52 appearances. Among all NHL forwards, Tuch's 76 blocks rank second behind only Seattle's Brandon Tanev.

Tuch scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch has 16 goals, 19 assists and 108 shots in 49 games. He has four goals, seven points and 22 shots in his last nine outings. Tuch does have a 79-point season on his resume, but that's likely an anomaly. The reality is that he's more likely a 55-point, second-unit winger who will give fantasy managers some secondary blocks. That should have him rostered in many formats, but he's also slightly overrated in others.

Tuch scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch brought the Sabres within a goal late in the third period, but they couldn't get an equalizer. The winger has three goals and three assists over his last six games, and it's encouraging to see him be productive on the second line. The 28-year-old is up to 15 goals, 34 points, 100 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 35 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 46 outings overall.

Tuch provided an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch has two goals and three assists over his last five contests. The 28-year-old winger is up to 33 points, 98 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 45 appearances. Tuch is second among all forwards in blocks, trailing only Seattle's Brandon Tanev (75), making him one of the better two-way wingers in the whole league.

Tuch notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch has two goals and two assists over his last four outings. The 28-year-old winger is up to 32 points, 97 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 34 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 44 appearances. Tuch's strong two-way play hasn't forced him to sacrifice offense, making him a good option for fantasy formats that count a lot of categories.

Tuch scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
He also had the first of the Sabres' two successful attempts in the shootout. Tuch has been feast or famine over the last month, but mostly the latter -- he has six goals in his last 15 games but zero assists, and the six tallies came in only three of those contests.

Tuch scored a hat trick in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Tuch opened his account midway through the first period with a tip-in to give the Sabres a two-goal lead, and he added two more tallies in the third period to close the game out. Tuch is up to 12 goals this season, though this was his first multi-goal effort of 2024-25. It was also Tuch's third hat trick of his NHL career, notching all of them with the Sabres, but it was the first time he accomplished this feat on home ice.

Tuch scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
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.
