Alex Tuch scored a hat-trick in the Buffalo Sabres' 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday, earning praise from his coach Lindy Roff. Tuch's performance helped the Sabres win their second straight game.
His first goal was a low shot from the right circle before completing his hat-trick with a breakaway goal. Ruff praised Tuch after his hat trick helped Buffalo beat the Blackhawks.
“Real happy. I mean, you get some opportunities,” Ruff said in a post-game press conference (via NHL.com).
Ruff acknowledged that the Sabres' home play wasn't great.
"Obviously, our playing at home here hasn't been what we like," he said. "For him to get three and the crowd to have a great night, I thought for him, he's got to feel good about that, and that should help propel his game."
