What It Means:

The timing has to be particularly relieving for Chicago as fellow defenseman Duncan Keith will be unavailable in the very likely event the NHL suspends him. Seabrook has 42 points (13 goals, 29 assists) in 76 games this season.

Despite the solid production from the blue line, Seabrook has been poor at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage is 49.0, and his Relative Corsi at Even Strength is -4.0. We project Seabrook to tally another three points (one goal, two assists) over the remaining course of the season. Even if he doesn't record another point, his 42 points will be the most he's had since the 2010-'11 season.
