Seguin joins Jamie Benn, Jeff Carter, and Duncan Keith on the list of Canadian players forced to miss the event.
"I'm disappointed that I can't represent Team Canada at the World Cup of Hockey," Seguin said. "Any time your country calls, it's a great honor and is something every kid from Canada dreams about getting the chance to do. While I'm upset that I don't get the opportunity to play, I understand the situation Team Canada is in with a short tournament."
The injury isn't considered serious, but will require 7-10 days off skates, according to Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos.
Seguin missed all but one of Dallas' postseason games in the spring, as he dealt with an Achilles injury.
