Boston Bruins (2010–2013) edit

Seguin signed with the Bruins on August 4, 2010, on a three-year entry-level contract carrying an annual salary of $900,000 plus an additional bonuses of up to $3.75 million per year.[1] After being named to the Bruins' 2010–11 opening night roster,[2] Seguin made his NHL debut on October 9, 2010, with four shots on goal in a 5–2 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes at the O2 Arena in Prague.[3][4] He scored his first NHL goal the next day, receiving the puck on a pass from teammate Michael Ryder in the third period and scoring on a breakaway backhanded goal against Ilya Bryzgalov. The Bruins shut out the Coyotes 3–0 in the rematch game.[5]

When the 2012–13 NHL lockout delayed the start of the regular season, Seguin was one of many Bruins who signed contracts with European ice hockey teams, joining EHC Biel of the Swiss National League (NLA).[6] Although the terms of his entry-level contract would have allowed him to continue playing in North America with the AHL, Seguin was excited by the opportunity to play abroad and was one of the first Canadian players to sign an overseas contract.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] By November 27, he had accumulated 20 goals in 20 games, the most of any NHL lockout export to the NLA.[10] On December 28, 2012, 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.[11] In 29 NLA games that season, Seguin scored 25 goals and 15 assists. He also befriended his EC Biel teammate Patrick Kane, who returned to the Chicago Blackhawks upon the conclusion of the lockout.[12]

The NHL lockout ended in January, and teams returned to play for an abbreviated 48-game regular season on January 19.[13]

Towards the end of a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on March 17, 2016, Seguin was slashed by a skate during a collision with Anton Stralman and injured his Achilles tendon.[14] He underwent surgery the following morning and was expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.[15] At the time of the injury, Seguin had recorded 33 goals and 73 points in 72 games for Dallas.[16] He returned for Game 2 of the Stars' first-round series against the Minnesota Wild in the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs but injured his calf during the game,[17] and the Stars fell to the Wild in six games.[18]

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic indefinitely suspended the 2019-20 NHL season, Seguin began to feel pain in his right knee, which he initially attributed to blocking a shot in a game before the stoppage. As the pain increased, however, he went to see a doctor in Dallas who diagnosed him with two tears in his right vastus lateralis muscle.[19] When the NHL returned to play for the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, Seguin joined his teammates in quarantine. He missed one round-robin qualifying game at the beginning of the playoffs but otherwise saw action in 26 postseason games, recording two goals and 13 points as the Stars ultimately fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals.[20]
