Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin of Brampton, Ontario is out long term with left hip surgery according to the Canadian Press on Wednesday. The former second overall pick of the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft will undergo the procedure on Thursday and is projected to be out four to six months. The specific surgery is to repair an impingement and labrum.
How did Seguin injure his hip?
According to Stars general manager Jim Nill, Seguin has “been dealing with this, been managing, I guess is the best way to say it, for a while. And it just got to a point where it’s really this time to have surgery, and it’s a wear-and-tear injury.”
Second Hip Surgery
Seguin had right hip surgery in 2020-21. As a result, he only played three games. Seguin had been feeling pain in his hip during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Edmonton bubble. The Stars reached the Stanley Cup Finals, but lost in six games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Seguin’s second game-winning goal of the season came on November 7 in a 3-1 Stars win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
