Because of that, Seguin was not made available to the media. However, linemate Jamie Benn did say he is hopeful Seguin can return. “I think it would be a huge deal,” Benn said with a smile. “He’s a good player. He can definitely help us.” Monitor Seguin's status in warmups.
Seguin reportedly skated really hard for 45 minutes on Wednesday and is practicing again this morning, so there is definitely a chance that Seguin could return tonight. It is a big game for Seguin, who has a lot of history with the Maple Leafs and he is from nearby Brampton, Ontario. Monitor his status prior to puck-drop.
Seguin is not available to the media due to the Stars concussion protocol, at this time there is no official update. Skating this morning is a good sign, as he works his way back in an attempt to be in the lineup tomorrow vs. Toronto. Monitor his status tomorrow morning.
Seguin, who was injured in Friday night’s game against the Blackhawks at American Airlines Center, is expected to skate with the Stars Wednesday in Toronto. “He’s doing well. He did really well yesterday. He’ll be one guy that could skate tomorrow and there’s a possibility he could play in Toronto (Thursday),” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “It’s really encouraging.”
Seguin missed Sunday's contest with concussion-like symptoms that he suffered on Friday. I think there is a small chance that Seguin plays tomorrow vs. Chicago and Thursday in Toronto is more likely. There is a lot of history with Seguin and the Maple Leafs and being from nearby Brampton, Ontario I'm sure Seguin wants to suit up for that contest.
Seguin reportedly started feeling the symptoms after the Chicago game on Sunday. Consider him questionable for Tuesday.
Dustin Jeffrey draws into the lineup with Seguin out. Consider him day-to-day, but this is not believed to be a serious issue and he should be back in the lineup on Tuesday.
Seguin's "muscle issue" limited him in practice this week but he was able to play through it on Friday. He has gone cold since scoring four goals vs. Calgary on November 14, recording just one assist in his last five games and nothing in his last four. Don't expect this dry spell to last long, but monitor his status at 5:30 pm EST when the Stars hit the ice for warm-ups.
Seguin has 12 goals and 11 assists (23 points) in 23 games and should be activated in all formats as he looks to break a three games pointless streak.
Dustin Jeffrey practiced in Seguin's place on the top line. Seguin will be considered a gametime decision for tomorrow's game.
Seguin was given the day off, in other words it was a maintenance day and he is expected to dress on Friday. Monitor his status on Thursday just to be sure.
Seguin gets an opportunity to join a team in a rebuilding stage with a cup run already under his belt - ideal for this stage in his career. Look for him to get first line minutes with Jamie Benn and potentially be a solid middle round fantasy pickup.
Seguin, who had been switched from wing to center Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr when Patrice Bergeron was injured, was dropped down to the third line with Paille, and Gregory Campbell was promoted to center Marchand and Jagr on the second line.
Seguin was held off the scoresheet vs. Ottawa but has 6 goals in 7 games in March. He isn't offering much value in the assist or powerplay point department but those opportunities will come as long as he keeps finding the back of the net. Playing the Panthers should help him increase that total.
He's "1,000,000% healthy" which is great for Bruins fans.
