The Dallas Stars announced that Tyler Seguin had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee earlier this week, and the forward would be evaluated after the Olympic break.
The surgery was performed in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper, who also repaired the left ACL of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes this week.
Seguin sustained the injury after getting tangled up with Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov along the boards during the first period of Dallas’ 3-2 overtime loss on Dec. 2 in New York.
The NHL season will be paused from Feb. 6-24 for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.
Seguin, 33, has recorded 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 27 games this season. He is playing in the seventh season of an eight-year, $78.8 million contract with Dallas.
A Stanley Cup champion with Boston in 2011, Seguin has totaled 826 points (367 goals, 459 assists) in 1,016 regular-season games for the Bruins (2010-13) and Stars. He also has 79 points (29 goals, 50 assists) in 151 playoff games.
He was selected by Boston with the second overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft.
