The Golden Knights trade for Mark Stone meant Alex Tuch was no longer the team’s points leader.
That might be a good thing for the 22-year-old forward, who admitted Thursday morning he’s been focused on his stats in the midst of a scoring slump.
“I mean, it’s going to happen,” Tuch said. “Honestly, it happens to everybody, they go through a little bit of a slump. I’m going through one right now, and at times I have been a little bit too worried about goals and points and stuff, and I saw my game slip away.”
Tuch has 43 points this season, well behind Stone’s 62, but only three in his last 12 games entering Thursday.
