BUFFALO, N.Y. — Alex Tuch was still sitting at his locker stall in the Buffalo Sabres’ dressing room more than 20 minutes after Alex Newhook’s shot dipped under Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s glove and ended the Sabres’ season.

He looked around the room with a blank stare, and was the last player to peel off his jersey.Advertisement

Astros' Tatsuya Imai seeing improvement with mechanical tweak, more aggression
MINNEAPOLIS — Improvement is important, so take Tatsuya Imai’s truncated start Monday night as a sign of it. He did not unravel amid adversity. He issued no free passes. He demonstrated efficiency and stayed around the strike zone.
