Ruff foresees Seguin playing season opener

It appears as though Tyler Seguin won't miss any regular-season action after fracturing his heel at the World Cup.

That's what Dallas Stars head coach Lindy Ruff believes, at least, saying it looks like the center will be ready for the team's season opener Thursday despite not seeing any preseason action to date.

"It's hard to describe where 100 percent is, but every day (in practice) is better," Ruff said, per Mike Heika of the Dallas News. "It's hard stepping in without game action, but leading up to (the heel injury) he had a couple of weeks of hard work with the World Cup team."

The Stars, however, will remain cautious with Seguin's progress over the next couple days, but a date with the Ducks on Thursday seems likely.
