Tyler Seguin jumped into regular line rushes at practice Wednesday and was declared available to play in Game 1 Thursday of the Stars' first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Wild (8:30p.m.on FSSW).

But that doesn't mean the forward who has missed 10 games with an Achilles injury will be in the lineup for sure. One, the Stars have a healthy roster that went 8-2-0 in the final 10 games without Seguin. Two, fellow forward Mattias Janmark is also ready to return after missing three games with an upper body injury.

"They're both doing well," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "They're both available to play, it'll just be a decision is if they're ready now."

Janmark's decision to return is fairly simple. However, Seguin's could create some discussion within the organization. The 24-year-old center had his right Achilles tendon cut by a skate blade on March 17 against Tampa Bay. The cut went through about 15 percent of the Achilles, and Seguin had surgery to stitch up the cut and has been rehabbing since.

He has been skating with the team the past three days and went through full practice on Wednesday, but then the question becomes whether he might do even better with a few more days rest.

"First is health," Ruff said when asked what are the considerations for putting Seguin back in. "The first thing you consider is can he make a difference in the game and has he had enough practice time? That's the most important thing, because it's one thing to step out there and practice and get a couple full practices in, it's another thing to step into a regular-season game and it's even a step further to step inside a game that has the playoff intensity that we're going to see tomorrow night."

Seguin said he feels good and will let the coaches and trainers make the decision.

"I want to do what's best for the team," he said. "Today was a better day than yesterday, and was a better day than the first day. Every day you push it a little bit more and you get more confidence in it."

Seguin said he still is battling some soreness.

"You have surgery, you're going to have to be feeling it for a while," he said. "I'll probably be feeling it over the summer. It's going to get stiff and again, I'm just trying to get better every day."

Seguin would likely play right wing on a line with Jamie Benn and Cody Eakin if he returns. Janmark could play on any line. That would mean two forwards would have to come out, and the group of four forwards who could be candidates are: Travis Moen, Valeri Nichushkin, Patrick Eaves and Colton Sceviour. Ruff said his team has done a good job of juggling forwards over the past month.

"It's something we've talked about, that we want to remain consistent with how we play, and it doesn't matter who's stepping in," Ruff said. "This is the way that we're going to be effective. This is the way that we can win the majority of games, and I think our record reflected that, our goals against reflected it, and we made a commitment to playing the game the right way, and it doesn't matter what bodies are in there."
