Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will be sidelined for months and possibly for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, head coach Glen Gulutzan announced on Wednesday.

Seguin sustained the injury after getting tangled up with Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov along the boards during the first period of Dallas' 3-2 overtime loss on Tuesday in New York. Seguin needed assistance to get off the ice and into the locker room.

"Unfortunately, Tyler, he's got an ACL (injury), and he'll be out for months," Gulutzan said on Wednesday. "We didn't get great news today. Haven't spoken to Tyler yet, but probably just letting everybody know that he's going to be out for a significant amount of time -- probably the rest of the season."

An exact timeline for Seguin's absence has yet to be determined.

Seguin, 33, has recorded 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 27 games this season. He is playing in the seventh season of his eight-year, $78.8 million contract with Dallas.

"It's a tough day for us today with the news, but other guys now have to step in and play," Gulutzan said. "... The rest of the league is in the same boat. There's lots of injuries piling up, and lots of games, so we just got to keep moving forward."

A Stanley Cup champion with Boston in 2011, Seguin has totaled 826 points (367 goals, 459 assists) in 1,016 regular-season games for the Bruins (2010-13) and Stars. He also has 79 points (29 goals, 50 assists) in 151 playoff games.

He was selected by Boston with the second overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft.
