Brent Seabrook didn't travel with Blackhawks after Wednesday's scratch

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook didn't travel to Winnipeg with the team for Thursday's game after participating in the morning skate and being a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche.

"Defenseman Brent Seabrook did not travel with the team to Winnipeg (undergoing further medical evaluation)," Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Terry said in a release on Thursday a few hours prior to game time.

Seabrook's healthy scratch on Wednesday was his third of the season in 35 games. The alternate captain and three-time Stanley Cup champ has four and a half years remaining on his contract with a $6.
