Seguin may miss beginning of next season due to torn hip labrum

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin suffered a torn labrum in his hip during the playoffs, the team announced Thursday. He's currently exploring options for surgery, which could carry a recovery time of four months.

If the 2020-21 NHL campaign begins on its target date of Jan. 1, Seguin would likely miss the first month of the season.

The injury explains why Seguin was held in check for most of the postseason. He tallied just two goals and 11 assists in 26 games during Dallas' run to the Stanley Cup Final.

General manager Jim Nill revealed a long list of injuries the rest of his team battled throughout the playoffs, though Seguin's ailment is likely the only one that will carry over into next season:

• Jamie Benn: shoulder injury
• Ben Bishop: knee surgery in May
• Blake Comeau: separated shoulder
• Radek Faksa: broken wrist
• Roope Hintz: fractured ankle, hurt hip
• Anton Khudobin: arm surgery to treat numbness
