As the are looking to keep their grip on first place in the Central Division, but it Joe Kocur Jersey will become a little bit more challenging. The team announced Friday that star center will mi s the next three to four weeks after he sustained a cut Achilles tendon in Friday night's win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The timeline likely leaves Seguin unavailable until the playoffs begin, but GM Jim Nill says he should be able to make it back for the postseason. This injury is not as bad as it could have been. According to GM Jim Nill, Seguins Achilles was only 15 percent cut. If its straight through, he Ben Harpur Jersey s done for the year and involved in a long road to recovery a la Erik Karl son a few seasons ago. Something like that could have even stretched into next season. The team expects the injury to be able to be repaired with surgery and stitching of the damaged portion of the tendon. Seguin was cut on his very last shift during the Stars 4-3 win over the Lightning Thursday night. It is unclear exactly when it happened, but this video may have it. Keep an eye on Seguin's heel as he follows through on his hit on . Went back and watched Tyler Brett Berard Jersey Seguin's final shift - only spot I can find where the cut *may* have happened is here: Mike Leslie (@MikeLeslieWFAA) He completed that shift and helped the team succe sfully defend their one-goal lead en route to the huge two points that put them in sole po se sion of first in the Central. Its a pretty sizable blow to a lineup that depends on its offense to win hockey games for them. Seguin is currently second on the Stars and third in the league with 73 points while averaging just over a point-per-game. He also has 33 goals this year. He, along with top scorer , make the most potent duo in the NHL by far with 153 collective points. The biggest reason for the Stars to Jaroslav Halak Jersey fight like crazy to keep the top spot is that it would allow them to avoid a first-round date with either the physical St. Louis Blues or the vastly more experienced Chicago Blackhawks. Taking on one of the wild card teams either the Nashville Predators or one of the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild isnt easy, but its a little more digestible. You can't be afraid of anyone in the playoffs, but getting a more favorable James Patrick Jersey first-round matchup might allow the Stars to get a little momentum to try and make a deeper run. Either way, the road to first just became a lot tougher. They currently lead the Blues by two points for the top spot in the Central Division with 10 games to play. Tyler Seguin is out for up to a month after getting cut by a skate. (USATSI)
