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

Tuch missed the first 13 games of the season and lasted just four periods before getting hurt again. Tuch didn't travel with the team to star their road-trip but may re-join them at some point during their four-game trip. Nicolas Roy was recalled from Chicago (AHL) and will take his spot on the roster on Tuesday.

Tuch (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

All signs are pointing towards Tuch making his season debut on Thursday but he has not been medically cleared as of now. Tuch skated on the third line with Cody Eakin and Cody Glass in Wednesday's practice, so look for him to start the season there. The 23-year-old power-forward had 52 points (20G / 32A) in 74 games last season.

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 (lower-body) has been activated from IR and is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday.

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. Tuch will skate on the second line with Erik Haula and Max Pacioretty. The 22-year-old will look to build off of a 37-point (15G / 22A) rookie campaign, where he also added 10 points (6G / 4A) in 20 playoff games.
