Alex Tuch understood why he was sent to the minors by the Golden Knights despite an impressive training camp.

The rookie forward played Sunday like he has no intention of going back.

Tuch scored his first career NHL goal, picked up an assist and was a hulking menace on the forecheck during the Knights’ 3-1 victory over Boston at T-Mobile Arena.
