Tuch finished his college career as part of the leadership group for Boston University.
He ends the season with 10G-20A - contributing offense at even strength and the power-play.
On the PP he generally set up around the crease - creating screens and looking for rebounds and tips.
Heavy set. Hard to move off the play. At times Tuch displays a sneaky 'extra gear' in transition and the ability to gain the edge and take the play to the net.
Consistent compete. Reliable hockey sense. Recognizes his responsibilities in all situations. Although he is heavy in the trenches he isn't a punishing body checker. Pushes but doesn't punish.
Leans 4th line utility forward at the NHL level.
