When the Spengler Cup comes to an end on December 31st so does Tyler Seguin‘s time overseas. EHC Biel, the team Seguin has been playing for since the start of the lockout, announced today that he would be leaving following the tournament.

Seguin is currently representing Canada in the Spengler Cup alongside teammate Patrice Bergeron. Bergeron as reported last week, has the same plan to come back in hopes of the lock out coming to an end.

For EHC Biel, Seguin led his team in points during the 29 games he played, tallying 25 goals and 15 assists. It’s nice to see Seggy hasn’t had a slump in scoring since the lack of NHL playing.

The club had nothing but positive thoughts on the sendoff tweeting the following:

Seguin Scores First Goal Overseas

In just his second game for his (hopefully) temporary team EHC Biel, Tyler Seguin scored his first goal of the season. Seguins goal came at 19:06 of the first period and he would go on to record an assist in the game. His team would pick up the 2-1 win over EV Zug in this game.

Yes this is sad, and yes seeing Seguin in the Biel jersey and not a Bruins one is upsetting, but I’m glad that he is consistently improving his game.

I’m sure this goal is just the first of many to come as Seguin continues to play overseas.
