The good news: Dallas Stars superstar Tyler Seguin is skating after cutting his Achilles on March 17.
The sort of bad news: Seguin's status for Game 1 of the playoffs remains up in the air.
"He's skating," head coach Lindy Ruff said Wednesday, according to the Stars' Mark Stepneski. "He's skating in a limited fashion, I would say somewhere between the 50 and 75 percent range. There are times he pushes it but we're trying to be a little cautious with that, too. He's progressing nicely and we just hope to keep on progressing here."
Ruff said it's too early to say whether Seguin will be in the lineup when the playoffs begin.
"I don't know," he said.
The Stars are 6-2 since Seguin went down. The 24-year-old will finish the regular season with 73 points in 72 games. He had a goal and two assists in six playoff games last year.
