BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres will have to continue their late-season playoff push without top-line forward Alex Tuch. He is out indefinitely after being placed on injured reserve. Tuch sustained what the team called a lower-body injury in the third period of a 3-1 win at the Florida Panthers on Friday. The Sabres didn’t provide any further details. At one point, Tuch appeared to hurt his left leg while battling for a loose puck behind the Panthers’ net. Buffalo hosts the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
