Sabres Go All-In at Deadline, Keeping Alex Tuch

Buffalo Sabres are pushing for their first playoff berth since 2011 and won’t deal star winger Alex Tuch at the March 6 deadline, opting to add depth instead, as Elliotte Friedman notes. General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen is known for aggressive deadline moves, and while Tuch’s extension talks center around the high end of the market, the club believes keeping him through the deadline preserves its competitive window; if Tuch hits free agency, Buffalo would recalibrate cap space to re-sign RFAs like Zach Benson and pursue affordable upgrades.

Kings aim to beat sizzling Sabres as fourth line sparks offense

LA Kings visit Buffalo to take on the NHL’s hottest team, riding a three-game win streak behind a suddenly productive fourth line of Malott–Ward–Helenius while keeping the lineup mostly intact and a likely Kuemper start. Buffalo enters with a long points streak and big-season leaders Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin leading the charge. On the injury front, Alex Turcotte is out for the trip; Joel Edmundson has an upper-body issue but expects to play; Kopitar could return this weekend. The Kings must tighten their 6-on-5 defense to avoid late goals as they pursue back-to-back wins.
