Tyler Seguin (heel) will make strides toward a full-time return to the ice Tuesday.

But will those strides be significant enough to put him on track for some action when the Stars open the regular season against the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 13 in Dallas? It sure sounds like the Stars are counting on it:

Seguin had been out with a heel injury after missing games last spring with a partially severed Achilles tendon and a subsequent calf injury.

The Stars center suffered the heel injury in an exhibition game for the World Cup of Hockey.
