Tyler Seguin knew as well as anyone that just trying hard was not going to save the Stars' season.
The skilled forward and team leader in points battled back from an illness that kept him out of practice Monday and was philosophical about the effort players were making to dig in at a tough point of the season. But, he added that effort doesn't guarantee results.
"The effort was here last game, it was definitely there, but I got stopped and we had a few details where we didn't finish, and we didn't get the full two points," Seguin said of an overtime loss Saturday.
