Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin is expected to be out for the rest of the season after injuring his ACL in a loss to the New York Rangers.
He was injured on Tuesday, Dec. 2, when Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov fell on his right leg during the first period.
‘He’s got an ACL and he’ll be out for months,’ Stars coach Glen Gulutzan told reporters on Wednesday, Dec. 3. ‘We didn’t get great news today. I haven’t spoken to Tyler yet, but letting everybody know that he’s going to be out for a significant amount of time, probably the rest of the season.’
