Stars’ Tyler Seguin undergoes successful shoulder surgery

Nazem Kadri threw a controversial hit on Alex Ovechkin, Duncan Keith ran over Viktor Arvidsson and Connor McDavid used the body.

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin has had surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder and should be ready for training camp in September.

The team said Seguin had the procedure Tuesday and was expected to make a full recovery in four months.

The 25-year-old Seguin led the Stars in scoring with 72 points (26 goals, 46 assists) in a disappointing season. Dallas missed the playoffs a year after being the top seed in the Western Conference and winning a first-round series against Minnesota.

The Stars didn’t renew coach Lindy Ruff’s contract and hired Ken Hitchcock, the coach for the franchise’s only Stanley Cup title in 1999.
