Awarded a power play with minutes remaining, Tuch was in the right place at the right time to slam home the game-winner and give the Vegas Golden Knights a huge two points.
The slate was wiped clean for Vegas after the bye week and, under new Head Coach Peter DeBoer, they bucked the trend of getting off to sluggish starts by dominating the first period against the Canes.
They outshot their hosts 16-6 and got on the board twice thanks to Paul Stastny and Jonathan Marchessault.
As was to be expected, Carolina did fight back in the second period and they gave themselves a lifeline thanks to Teuvo Teravainen, who collected a loose puck in-front of the net before beating Malcolm Subban.
