Seguin posted an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin managed two goals, two assists 10 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over seven contests in the first round. It was a somewhat quiet showing for his line with Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment, but the Stars are heading to the second round, giving those players more time to be a factor on offense. Seguin has had his minutes managed after a long-term hip injury -- he finished with fewer than 15 minutes of ice time in four of the seven first-round games.

Seguin scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin converted on a feed from Mason Marchment to give the Stars the win and 2-1 series lead at 5:31 of overtime. He's picked up three points over four contests since returning from a long-term hip injury, and he's looked just fine playing on the Stars' second line. Seguin has added six shots on net, two hits and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff outings.

Seguin scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin evened things up for the Stars late in the first period with a slap shot that went past Mackenzie Blackwood at the 19:06 mark. This was the veteran forward's first goal in the current playoff run, and the Stars will probably rely on his experience during this postseason. He missed most of the regular season while recovering from a hip surgery that sidelined him for 58 games, but Seguin still posted 21 points, 46 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 20 regular-season outings.

Seguin recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin missed 58 games due to a hip surgery. He saw 14:48 of ice time in his return, compared to an average of 16:13 prior to the injury. The 33-year-old will be called on for top-six usage in the playoffs, though he may have his minutes managed if he's playing at less than 100 percent. Still, his presence in the lineup should give the Stars a boost. He earned 21 points, 46 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 20 regular-season outings.

Seguin (hip) was activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Nashville, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin was technically classified as a game-time decision by head coach Pete DeBoer, but this move clears the way for the veteran forward to suit up for the first time since Dec. 1 versus Winnipeg. Even with his return to the lineup, Seguin may have to settle for a bottom-six role given his lengthy injury absence.

Seguin (hip) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup with Nashville, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

In order to suit up Wednesday, Seguin will need to be activated off long-term injured reserve, so that figures to be the final determination on whether he suits up versus the Predators. The 33-year-old forward has been out of action since Dec. 1 against the Jets due to his hip problem, a stretch of 58 games on the shelf. Once given the all-clear, Seguin figures to fill a middle-six role that will likely see Oskar Back dropped from the lineup.

Seguin (hip) is "really close" to playing, according to head coach Pete DeBoer, but hasn't been fully cleared for contact, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin has just five games remaining in the regular season if he wants to get in a tune-up or two ahead of the playoffs. The veteran forward will no doubt have some rust to shake off after being sidelined for the Stars' last 54 games dating back to Dec. 1 versus the Jets. At this point, Seguin may be hard-pressed to serve in anything more than a bottom-six role once given the all-clear and may have to play limited minutes at first, given his extended absence.

Head coach Peter DeBoer relayed that Seguin (hip) is making progress in his recovery and is on track to be back at some point during the regular season or playoffs, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin will continue to work his way back to full strength while Dallas battles for playoff positioning in a contentious Central Division race. Once he's ready to return, he could bump Mikael Granlund down to a third-line role -- Seguin has phenomenal chemistry with Mason Marchment and Matt Duchene, Granlund's current linemates. In 19 appearances before sustaining his injury, Seguin provided nine goals, 20 points and a plus-14 rating.

Seguin (hip) has started skating back in Texas, according to Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin last suited up against the Jets on Dec. 1 -- the right-shot forward underwent surgery Dec. 5 for a left-side femoral acetabular impingement and hip labrum. General manager Jim Nill did not have a set timeline for Seguin's return. Before getting injured, Seguin was playing at a high level, having recorded nine goals, 20 points and a plus-14 rating across 19 outings.

The Stars put Seguin (leg/hip) on long-term injured reserve Saturday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

Seguin could return in early April if everything works out, as he was deemed to be out of action for 4-6 months after his surgery Dec. 5. The Stars will gain valuable salary relief, as Nils Lundkvist had season-ending shoulder surgery and was also placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday.
