Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will be sidelined for months and possibly for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, head coach Glen Gulutzan announced on Wednesday.

Seguin sustained the injury after getting tangled up with Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov along the boards during the first period of Dallas' 3-2 overtime loss on Tuesday in New York. Seguin needed assistance to get off the ice and into the locker room.

"Unfortunately, Tyler, he's got an ACL (injury), and he'll be out for months," Gulutzan said on Wednesday. "We didn't get great news today. Haven't spoken to Tyler yet, but probably just letting everybody know that he's going to be out for a significant amount of time -- probably the rest of the season."
