Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch is out at least two weeks with a lower-body injury, general manager Kevyn Adams confirmed Sunday.
Tuch, 26, ranks second on the team in goals (28), is tied for second in points (62) and has played in all 57 games this season.
The Sabres placed the top-line winger on injured reserve Saturday. He did not play the final seven-plus minutes in Friday night’s 3-1 win against the host Florida Panthers.
A first-round pick (18th overall) by Minnesota in 2014, Tuch has 239 points (101 goals, 138 assists) in 362 games with the Wild, Vegas Golden Knights and Sabres.
