Alex Tuch hits a career-high in points per game
Tuch never really struggled during his time with the Vegas Golden Knights, but he didn’t break out of his shell until the Jack Eichel Trade landed him a spot with the Buffalo Sabres. Last season, Tuch hit a career-high with 0.76 points per game and 0.52 assists per game. His goals per game average, 0.24, was the third-best of his career.
This season, look for Tuch to play in 70-plus games and knock down at least 63 to 74 points this season, good for 0.9 per game. I also want to get ultra-bold and project Tuch to score 0.35 goals per game and 0.55 assists per game, which will snag him career-highs in all three categories.
Tuch missed time last season with a shoulder injury following his trade from Vegas and he still produced as though he were in the lineup all season. It will be interesting to see how he fares in 2022-23.
