Tyler Seguin’s Injury Update

In a challenging turn of events for the Dallas Stars, veteran center Tyler Seguin will be sidelined for an undisclosed period following successful surgery to address a torn ACL in his right knee. The operation took place in Dallas and was handled by renowned surgeon Dr. Dan Cooper, noted for also treating NFL star Patrick Mahomes.

Details of the Injury

The injury occurred during the first period of a game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on December 2, 2025. Seguin collided with Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov, leading to immediate discomfort. Unable to skate, he required assistance to leave the ice, receiving help from teammates Roope Hintz and Ilya Lyubushkin, as well as an athletic trainer.

Seguin’s Career and Recovery

The 33-year-old forward, who has been a pivotal figure for the Stars since his trade from Boston in 2013, had only recently returned to the ice after missing a majority of the previous season due to hip surgery. His ability to bounce back was showcased as he participated in the team’s playoff run to the Western Conference finals last year.

The organization announced that they will reassess Seguin’s recovery timeline post-Olympic break, leaving fans eager for updates on his return to the game.
