The World Cup of Hockey took its toll on the Dallas Stars.

Most notably, Tyler Seguin suffered a hairline fracture in his heel, while forwards Ales Hemsky and Radek Faksa suffered a groin injury and a concussion, respectively.

However, general manager Jim Nill shed positive light on the situation Saturday, saying all three should be ready to go for opening night Oct. 13.

Nill said the team will keep Seguin off the ice until Wednesday, to ensure a full recovery. Faksa will return either Monday or Tuesday, per Nill, while Hemsky will be evaluated after returning from Toronto.
