A sealing assembly for use with a rotary machine is described herein. The sealing assembly includes a stator shroud coupled to the casing. The stator shroud includes an inner surface that at least partially defines the cavity within the casing. At least one stator labyrinth tooth extends outwardly from the stator shroud inner surface towards a rotor assembly positioned within the casing. At least one protective member is coupled to the stator shroud upstream from the at least one stator labyrinth tooth to facilitate reducing a flow of combustion gas across the at least one stator labyrinth tooth.
