Derek Lee: Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler returned to the lineup. Forwards Leo Carlsson (upper-body) and Brock McGinn (lower-body) remained out.
TSN: Ducks forward Trevor Zegras left last night’s game in the second period. He wasn’t able to put any weight on his leg as he left the ice. There was no update after the game and he’ll undergo tests today.
Trevor Zegras immediately waved at the bench after he went down. Not what the Ducks need to see at this point (or any point).@SportingTrib | #FlyTogether pic.twitter.com/GADrsRXNzi

Lia Assimakopoulos: Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will have surgery today to repair a left-side femoral acetabular impingement and a left-side hip labrum. He’s expected to be out for four to six months.
- Sam Nestler: “Tyler has been managing the injury, but it eventually got to the point where surgery was going to be required, you just never know the time frame. Really no other options with this injury once it can no longer be rehabbed with therapy & rest.”
- Bruce LeVine: “There are 5 1/2 months until the beginning of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Seguin’s timeline is 4-6 months. Best case scenario, move Seguin’s salary (more than 9mil) to LTIR. Make all trades possible to upgrade team. Get Tyler back for postseason”
