Alex Tuch of the Vegas Golden Knights will miss the season opener, and possibly more time, after crashing awkwardly into the end boards during a game against the LA Kings Friday night. Tuch left the game immediately and did not return after the incident about mid-way through the third period. He is now listed week-to-week, which means he'll miss the Golden Knights' first game of the season on Wednesday, October 2nd against San Jose. Tuch is listed as having an upper-body injury.
The 23-year-old winger had 52 points in 74 games last season, including 20 goals. He set career highs in goals, assists and points. In October of 2018, the Golden Knights signed Tuch to a seven-year, $33.25 million contract extension.
Meanwhile, centre Cody Eakin, who left in the third period of Friday's game, is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury
