There are a few injury concerns – Tyler Seguin has not played for Dallas since game 2 of the opening round series against Minnesota, and it’s uncertain if he will be available for game 7. Seguin, who had 33 goals and 73 points in the regular season, has been limited by the Achilles Tendon injury he suffered earlier in the season. Travis Moen is also listed on the injury report and is no sure thing for the deciding game.
St. Louis has no major injury concerns going into tomorrow night’s game. They are now 1-3 in elimination games this post season, their lone win coming as +100 underdogs on the road vs the Chicago Blackhawks in Round 1.
