Canada's Tyler Seguin is expected to miss the World Cup of Hockey with an apparent knee injury, according to Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos.
"I'm starting to hear reports that Tyler Seguin has suffered what we believe might be a knee injury," Kypreos said during the first intermission of a pre-tournament game between the U.S. and Finland.
The Dallas Stars forward crashed hard into the boards while trying to negate an icing call in Canada's pre-tournament opener against the U.S. on Friday, and was clipped by American Dustin Byfuglien in the neutral zone on Saturday.
"Now his isn't a serious injury which is good news for the Dallas Stars," Kypreos said in the second intermission. "They believe that this is a day-to-day situation but the recommendation from the doctors is to be off skates anywhere from seven to 10 days."
Teams have until 24 hours before preliminary-round play begins (on Sept. 17), to replace an injured player.
Seguin's teammate in Dallas, Jamie Benn, also had to drop out of the tournament after undergoing core muscle surgery in the off-season.
