Wild's Alex Tuch: Scores game-winner to close prospect tournament

Tuch scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Minnesota's 3-1 win over Chicago in the Traverse City Prospects Tournament on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Tuch's game-winner came with just 18 seconds left in regulation. The mammoth power forward showed flashes of dominance over this two seasons at Boston College, but he needs to play a more consistent game on a nightly basis. He is ready for NHL duty from a physical standpoint, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could spend some time in Minnesota this season. Tuch was the 18th overall pick in the 2014 Entry Draft.
