Seguin (lower body) did not skate Thursday morning.

Analysis:

Seguin remains off the ice with his injury, which seems to be crushing his chances of being ready for Game 1 of the conference semifinals against the Blues on Friday. If you need a sneaky replacement option for Seguin in playoff pools, then consider his teammate Radek Faksa, who contributed two points, seven hits and six blocked shots in the first-round series against the Wild.
