Alex Tuch, a player for the Buffalo Sabres, has been dealing with an upper-body injury, causing him to be day-to-day and miss several games. The team is hopeful for his return but has been cautious. Tuch's absence has led to lineup adjustments, with Matt Savoie making his NHL debut in Tuch's place. The Sabres' coach, Don Granato, has mentioned Tuch's questionable status for games and the team's adaptation to his absence. Tuch's return is anticipated, with the coach expecting him to be 'full go' at practice before the team's next game.
Don Granato expects Alex Tuch to practice tomorrow. Said today's rehab skate went well. #Sabres
Alex Tuch should be "full go" at practice Thursday before the Sabres leave for Winnipeg, said coach Don Granato. No target date for Thompson's return. Fewer than two months is the best Granato can do for now.
