Tyler Seguin returned to the Dallas Stars' lineup Sunday and saw the ice for the first time since suffering a cut to his left Achilles tendon during a March 17 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but it's clear he isn't 100 percent.
General manager Jim Nill told reporters Seguin remained in Texas to rehab "an injury related to the Achilles," according to Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News. Nill said the forward could be called to play in St. Paul if needed, and is considered day to day.
Later Monday, TSN's Darren Dreger suggested it may be a separate injury altogether.
Told he "tweaked" something not Achilles related. Day to day. https://t.co/cssj3a298r

The 24-year-old was limited to just 15 minutes of action during his team's Game 2 victory over the Minnesota Wild, and was moved down to the fourth line during the third period.
Nill also added that defenseman Kris Russell is ill. Jordie Benn drew into his place on the blue line during Monday's practice.
