Tyler Seguin

 ( 1992 Births ) 

2009–10 proved to be a breakout year for Seguin, who led the league with 14 goals and 25 points in the first 10 games of the season. Eleven of those points came from the first four games of the season, including a hat trick against the London Knights. He finished the season with 106 points (48 goals and 58 assists) in 63 games, and, although the Whalers were swept in the second round of the 2010 playoffs, Seguin became the first member of the team to win the Red Tilson Trophy for most outstanding player in the OHL since David Legwand in 1998. He also tied with Taylor Hall of the Windsor Spitfires for that year's Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy, given to the top scorer in the OHL. At the 2010 CHL Top Prospects Game, Seguin was named the captain for Team Orr, which lost 4–2 to Team Cherry.

On November 5, 2011, Seguin scored his first career NHL hat trick against the team that traded the draft pick to the Bruins, the Toronto Maple Leafs. On November 14, Seguin was named NHL's First Star of the Week for his four goals and two assists that helped the Bruins to three wins in the week. On April 22, 2012, Seguin scored in overtime of Game 6 of the first round in the 2012 playoffs series against the seventh-seeded Washington Capitals that sent the series to a Game 7. However, despite another goal from Seguin in Game 7, the Bruins would go on to lose the game in overtime and were thus eliminated from the playoffs with Capitals' forward Joel Ward scoring the winning goal. He finished his breakout 2011–12 season as the Bruins' leading scorer with 67 points (29 goals, 38 assists) in 81 games along with two goals and one assist for three points in all seven playoff games.

During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Seguin was one of many Bruins who signed European hockey contracts, striking a deal with the EHC Biel hockey club of the Swiss National League A on September 21, 2012. He made his Swiss League debut on September 30, centreing Ahren Spylo and Eric Beaudoin on the second line and scoring an assist in a 6–3 loss to the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers. Seguin's first goal with the team came three days later, in the first period of his second appearance, a 2–1 win over EV Zug. Less than one month later, on October 24, Seguin recorded his second professional hat trick, and his first NLA hat trick, in a 5–4 shootout win over HC Ambri-Piotta. By November 27, he had accumulated 20 goals in 20 games, the most of any NHL lockout export to the NLA. On December 28, Seguin told NBC Sports Boston that, after representing Team Canada at the 2012 Spengler Cup, he would leave EHC Biel and return to the Bruins. In 29 NLA games that season, Seguin scored 25 goals and 15 assists for 40 points. He also befriended his teammate and fellow NHL star Patrick Kane, who returned to the Chicago Blackhawks upon the conclusion of the lockout. After the lockout ended, the 2012–13 NHL season began, with 48 intra-conference games played beginning on January 19, 2013. Seguin played all 48 regular-season games with the Bruins, scoring 16 goals and 16 assists for 32 points while playing the bulk of the season on the first line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. His performance began to waver during the 2013 playoffs, however, scoring only one goal and three assists in his first 12 postseason games, and he was moved from the second to the third line with Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly, with Jaromír Jágr taking his place on the first and/or second. The Bruins advanced to the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals, but ultimately fell to the Presidents' Trophy-winning Chicago Blackhawks in six games.

On October 28, 2014, Seguin recorded his 100th NHL goal in a 4–3 loss to the St. Louis Blues. On February 13, 2015, in a 2–0 win over the Florida Panthers, Seguin sustained a torn MCL as he was clipped by Panthers' defenceman Dmitry Kulikov, resulting in him missing the next 10 games. Seguin would end the 2014–15 season with 37 goals and 40 assists and 78 points in 71 games. Despite his continued individual success, the Stars struggled as a team as they failed to qualify for the playoffs, finishing 10th in the West and missing the playoffs by seven points.

On March 17, 2016, Seguin sustained a cut to his Achilles tendon, and was expected to miss 3–4 weeks at the end of the season. He ultimately finished the 2015–16 season playing 72 games with 33 goals, 40 assists and 73 points.

Seguin recorded 26 goals and 46 assists for 72 points in all 82 games in the 2016–17 season as the Stars as a team struggled heavily, finishing 11th in the West and missing the playoffs for the second time in three seasons and by 15 points. Despite playing every game, Seguin revealed he had played the entire season through a torn labrum in his shoulder, which required surgery to repair.

On November 24, 2017, Seguin recorded his 200th NHL goal in a 6–4 win over the Calgary Flames. Seguin was named to the NHL All-Star Game for the fifth time on January 10, 2018. He was previously selected for the 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2017 NHL All-Star games. He finished the 2017–18 season playing all 82 games and recording 40 goals, 38 assists and 78 points as the Stars heavily improved compared to the previous season, finishing 10th in the West and missing the playoffs only by three points. The 40 goals was a career high in goals. He became only the third player in team history besides Jamie Benn and Mike Modano to have a 40-goal season. At the end of the 2017–18 season, Seguin was nominated by the Stars for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for the second time but was not named a top three finalist in the league.

On September 13, 2018, Seguin signed an eight-year, $78.8 million contract extension with the Stars. Seguin finished the 2018–19 season playing all 82 games once more and leading his team in goals (33), assists (47) and points (80), respectively. His 47 assists tied the 2013–14 season for an individual career high in assists.

After blocking a shot on March 12, 2020, one of the final games before the cancelation of the last three weeks of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic protocols, Seguin suffered two tears in his right vastus lateralis muscle. He chose to refrain from lower body workouts during the league pause in the hopes that the injury would resolve itself. He finished the season playing all 69 games and recording 17 goals, 33 assists and 50 points. His 33 assists and 50 points were most on the team. On July 29, during a practice before the Stars' exhibition game against the Nashville Predators, Seguin felt a "pop" in his hip that also caused pain in his knee. After playing through the 2020 playoffs, scoring only two goals in 26 games while making it to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals and losing in six games to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Seguin was told that he had completely torn his acetabular labrum. Due to restrictions surrounding the ongoing pandemic, Seguin's surgery was repeatedly delayed. Seguin received a right hip arthroscopy and labral repair on November 2. The expected timeline for his rehabilitation and recovery was subsequently adjusted from four to five months, due to the severity of the injury.

Seguin was activated from the injured reserve on May 3, 2021 making his debut that day and scoring a goal in the Stars' 5–4 overtime loss against Spencer Knight of the Florida Panthers. Played three games in the COVID-19 shortened 2020–21 season and recorded two goals and no assists for two points as the Stars missed the playoffs by four points.

On March 22, 2022, Seguin scored his 300th goal in a 5–3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Oilers' goaltender Mikko Koskinen. Seguin finished the 2021–22 season with 24 goals and 25 assists for 49 points as the Stars returned to the playoffs as a result of their seventh seed finish but the Stars would fall in seven games in the first round to the second-seeded Calgary Flames. In the series, Seguin recorded two goals and assists for four points in all seven games. After the series ended, it was revealed that Seguin played through a broken foot suffered in Game 1 of the series.

After playing 19 of the first 24 games of the 2024–25 season and recording nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points, it was announced on December 4, 2024, that Seguin would undergo hip surgery to repair a femoral acetabular infringement and labrum, taking him out of the Stars line-up for four-to-six months. Seguin returned to the Stars lineup on April 16, 2025, against the Nashville Predators, after not playing in a game since December 1, 2024. Seguin started the game, and 16 seconds into his return, he assisted on a goal by Mason Marchment to give the Stars an early 1-0 lead.

Seguin competed for Canada at the 2009 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in the Czech Republic, where he led the team in scoring with ten points in four games as Canada won the gold medal. He then attended Hockey Canada's selection camp for the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in December 2009, but did not make the team. Previously, he won gold with Team Ontario in the 2009 World U-17 Hockey Challenge in Port Alberni, British Columbia, and finished second in tournament scoring with 11 points in six games. Seguin attended Canada's World Junior selection camp in Regina, Saskatchewan, for the World Junior Championships, the under-20 level, but again failed to make the team. In 2015, he was a member of Canada's gold medal-winning team at the World Hockey Championships.
