Alex Tuch has recorded 14 points (6+8) in his last 13 games, including five points (3+2) in his last five contests. Tuch has registered one goal and one assist in back-to-back road games. If he does so tonight, Tuch will become the first Sabres skater since Tage Thompson from Oct. 19 to 26, 2024 (4+3) to register at least one goal and one assist in three consecutive road contests. In his last eight games, Tage Thompson has recorded eight points (5+3). Thompson has recorded at least one point in three consecutive road games. A point in today’s game would mark his 10th road point streak of four or more games in his career, and his first since Dec. 23, 2024 to Jan. 2, 2025 (2+5). Owen Power has tallied one point in back-to-back road games (1+1) and a point tonight would give him his fourth road point streak of three or more games of his career. Alex Lyon made 33 saves on 35 shots against Utah on Nov. 4 and he has posted a save percentage of .903 and a goalsagainst average of 2.37 in three career games against the Mammoth.
