Many, many Chicago Blackhawks fans this season have called for defenseman Brent Seabrook to sit a game here and there. With how slow and tired he looks, what could it hurt for a defensive unit that could hardly get any worse?
Well, we’re about to find out, it seems. According to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mark Lazerus, Seabrook was among the last off the ice at today’s morning skate ahead of tonight’s game against Ottawa. This indicates the veteran blueliner is likely out for the affair.
Then, coach Joel Quenneville confirmed it.
Brent Seabrook is indeed a healthy scratch tonight.
