Center Tyler Seguin, who was limited to just one of his team's 13 playoff games this past spring due to a calf injury, is expected to be fully recovered in time to represent Canada at the World Cup of Hockey in September.

"He has been skating and seems to be having no troubles," Nill said, according to Mike Heika of the Dallas News. "There's a little bit of stiffness there still, but he feels comfortable and should be ready for the World Cup."

Seguin also missed the last few weeks of the regular season with an Achilles injury, but did record 73 points in 72 games in 2015-16.
