Return to the Ice
Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin was back on the ice Tuesday at the team facility, roughly two weeks before the Stars open training camp, as he continues his recovery from a torn ACL. The 34-year-old forward last played on Dec. 2, 2025, when he tore the ACL in his right knee during a 3-2 overtime loss at the New York Rangers, and he underwent surgery on Dec. 16, as reported by com.
The typical recovery timeline for such surgery averages around nine months, which aligns with the start of training camp, according to com. Seguin told reporters on May 4 that he feels good, though the rehabilitation has been challenging. "It was tough. I guess ACLs aren't that common in hockey. It was hard to really bounce these questions off other players. There's not even really a true open book on, get on the ice at this time right now, you can then do this, you can now cut this way," he said. "I feel deep down I'll be as strong as ever. It's like going into the offseason, you have one or two lower-body days, except now you're doing them four days a week."
Injury History and Recent Performance
Seguin has been limited to just 47 games over the past two seasons, according to TSN, having undergone hip surgery early in the 2024-25 campaign before knee surgery last season. He managed to return for the playoffs in 2025, posting four goals and eight points in 18 games, TSN reported.
Prior to his injury last season, Seguin had seven goals and 17 points in 27 games for Dallas, with com noting he recorded 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) and was plus-10 in those appearances. The Stars were eliminated in six games by the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, according to com.
Career Milestones and Contract
The 34-year-old centre has spent the last 13 seasons of his career with the Stars, topping the 20-goal mark in three straight years before injuries derailed the past two seasons, as reported by TSN. Selected second overall by the Boston Bruins in 2010, Seguin has topped the 30-goal mark five times in 16 NHL seasons, including a career-best 40 goals with the Stars in 2017-18, TSN added.
com reports that Seguin has 826 points (367 goals, 459 assists) in 1,016 regular-season games with the Bruins and Stars, along with 79 points (29 goals, 50 assists) in 151 playoff games. He is playing out the final year of an eight-year contract with an average annual value of $9.85 million, according to TSN.
Stars' Injury Woes Last Season
Seguin's injury was one of several that affected Dallas last season. Forward Jamie Benn, the Stars' captain, missed the first 19 games because of a punctured lung, and centre Matt Duchene missed 24 with a head injury, as reported by com. Defenseman Lian Bichsel sustained a lower-body injury that kept him out 31 games, and defenseman Nils Lundkvist missed 25 games with a lower-body injury and also had his face cut by a skate in Game 5 against the Wild, according to com. Mikko Rantanen, a forward, missed 15 games with a lower-body injury sustained while playing for Team Finland at the 2026 Winter Olympics in February, com reported.
Looking Ahead

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
