Asked prior to Game 6 what the Stars needed from forwards Seguin and Jamie Benn, coach Rick Bowness laughed and said, "goals would help."
Can't get more spot-on than that. Benn, who scored 46 points (18 goals, 28 assists) in 82 regular-season games, scored two (one goal, one assist) in seven playoff games, his goal coming 40 seconds into Game 7. Seguin, who scored 49 points (24 goals, 25 assists) in 81 regular-season games, scored four points (two goals, two assists) in seven games.
Prior to Game 6 Bowness was asked if Seguin, who missed all but three games last season after having right hip arthroscopy and a labral repair Nov. 2, 2020, was healthy. Bowness said he was. Regardless, it was a tough series for two players who used to be the Stars' top producers.
