On March 17, 2016, the Dallas Stars lost Tyler Seguin to an injury after his achilles was cut by a skate at the end of a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The cut required surgery, but turned out to not be as severe as it was originally thought to be. Still, Seguin sat out for the remainder of the season, but was expected to be ready for the playoffs.
But that’s not what happened. Instead, Seguin only played in game two of the first round against the Minnesota Wild. He missed the other 12 games in the Stars playoff run, which ended after a seven-game bout in the second round with the St.
