Alex Tuch Battling Illness, To Be Game-Time Decision Saturday
11 months agoBuffalo Sabres winger Alex Tuch (illness) didn't practice Friday and is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh. The bug that has swept around the NHL in the last month is not done quite yet, as the Sabres have a few players suffering from the illness. Tuch has 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) in 32 games in what has been a solid season after his breakout last year. If Tuch can't go, one of Jack Quinn or JJ Peterka will likely take over his spot on the first line while Dylan Cozens could bump up to the first powerplay unit.
