Why isnt seguin playing in playoffs




















Bienvenido a NHL. Tyler Seguin will have surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip and the Dallas Stars forward is expected to miss the start of next season. Stars general manager Jim Nill said Thursday that Seguin's recovery time is expected to be four months; the NHL target date for the beginning of next season is Jan.

We're going through the process and he's talking to doctors and getting different options right now. The tough part with all of this is that nobody knows the time frame. We don't know the start of the season, so that's why we want to get it done as soon as possible.

Seguin, who was also dealing with knee problems, missed one game during the round-robin portion of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers, a shootout win against the St. Louis Blues on Aug. The year-old scored 13 points two goals, 11 assists averaging of ice time per game in 26 postseason games but was limited to six assists in his final 15 games. They sat 12 points back of the Chicago Blackhawks for the fourth and final playoff position in the temporarily realigned Central Division.

Every grim prophecy for Dallas' season was playing out as predicted. The Stars were trying to compete with two hands tied behind their backs. And yet: they had six games in hand, enough to provide some theoretical hope.

So the most important thing is, step by step, get back in the hunt. Overcoming the injuries to Seguin and Bishop, not to mention Alexander Radulov and, this week, top scorer Hintz and No. How have they defied the odds with such a depleted lineup and gruelling slate of games? His 2.

Producing at a rate even higher than Hintz has been his regular linemate, the sensational rookie Jason Robertson. How good has Robertson been on Hintz's left wing?

Even wiith Seguin and Radulov out, key internal improvements have helped the Stars slot 14 th in the NHL in offense, actually up from 26 th last season, and they boast the No. Both were lacking the final 40 minutes. It was a far more encouraging message than the one delivered by Dallas Stars brass after the last time Seguin went 12 games without a goal.

Get a little bit closer to the action, actually go to the spot where you score goals. But the bounce was not. Despite being kept out of every postseason game until Wednesday night, though, Stamkos showed up, took a shot that felt like the good times, and scored a goal. It was the type of moment that made the Tampa Bay win feel even more declarative than the already showy score would indicate. It was also the type of moment that proved how quickly a ship can be righted and a narrative can shift.

Seguin may have zero goals in his past 12 games. But sometimes it only takes that one goal to get started, to get closer and closer to getting tears on your cigar.
