Stars F Seguin to undergo hip surgery, out 4-6 months
Published
Dallas Stars veteran forward Tyler Seguin is scheduled to undergo hip surgery this week and is expected to miss the next four-to-six months, the team announced on Wednesday.
The surgery, which aims to repair a left side FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) and the left side hip labrum, will be performed Thursday by Dr. Bryan T. Kelly at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, NY.
The 32-year-old centre has scored nine goals and 11 assists over 19 games in 2024-25 with the Stars, his 12th season in Dallas and 15th in the NHL. The timeline likely rules out Seguin out for the remainder of regular season and potentially through the first round of the playoffs.
Seguin played 15:08 in his last game, a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, but missed Monday's 2-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club.
Seguin record 25 goals and 27 assists for 52 points in 68 games last season, his best point total since 2018-19 when he had 80.
The Brampton, Ont. native is in the sixth season of an eight, $78.8 million contract, featuring an average annual value of $9.85 million. The six-time All-Star is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2026-27 season.
Seguin was selected second overall by the Boston Bruins in 2010, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2011. The Bruins dealt Seguin to the Stars in July of 2013 after falling to the Chicago Blackhawks in that year's Stanley Cup Final.
Over 988 career games with the Bruins and Stars, Seguin has 360 goals and 448 assists, adding 25 goals and 46 assists across 133 postseason games.
Dallas currently sits third in the Central Division with a 32 points and a 16-8 record. The Stars are in Los Angeles on Wednesday night to play the Kings.
