Tuch is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Tuch crashed hard into the end boards and left the ice during Friday night’s preseason game. The Golden Knights have listed their right-winger as “week-to-week.” With Tuch out, Reilly Smith is guaranteed a spot in the top-6 and it opens the door for Cody Glass to start the year in the NHL.

Tuch has missed the first eight games of the season with a lower-body injury, but is expected to play vs. the Canucks on Wednesday.
