Seabrook (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday against the Avalanche, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabrook missed Friday's practice but appears good to go ahead of a showdown with the Avs and their potent top line. The 33-year-old has posted four goals and 15 points -- along with a disappointing minus-11 rating -- in 40 games and therefore remains a risky fantasy play.

Seabrook won't practice Friday due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Seabrook will probably still travel with the Blackhawks for Saturday's game against the Avalanche, but his inability to practice Friday leaves his status for that contest up in the air. If Seabrook's unable to go, Brandon Manning will likely draw into the lineup against the Avalanche.

Seabrook picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

With that, Seabrook doubled his point total for the season. He's seen a sharp decline in his game over the last year, in large part because of his slow feet. When used appropriately, Seabrook can be a valuable part of an on-ice product. But his fantasy value is mostly in the past.

Seabrook (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabrook missed Tuesday's practice session due to an illness, but his presence on the ice Wednesday suggests he should be good to go for Thursday's season opener against the Senators. The veteran blueliner will be looking to bounce back in 2018-19 after totaling a disappointing seven goals and 26 points in 81 contests last season.

Seabrook won't practice Tuesday due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks' season opener isn't until Thursday, so if Seabrook's able to return to practice Wednesday, there's no reason to believe he won't be available against the Senators. However, if the veteran blueliner is unable to go against Ottawa, Jan Rutta will likely take his place in the lineup.

Seabrook (abdomen) will be in the lineup for Monday's intersquad scrimmage, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it may be just a scrimmage, the club would certainly hold Seabrook out if there was any question about his health. The veteran blueliner has seen a steady decrease in his point production each of the previous three seasons -- including failing to reach the 30-point mark last year for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 campaign.

Seabrook (abdomen) participated in Sunday's practice, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabrook didn't appear limited, but he split reps with Henri Jokiharju, signaling he may still be nursing his injury to some degree. Still, this shouldn't be a lingering issue as the regular season approaches, and it'll be more telling if he plays Tuesday against the Blue Jackets or Thursday against the Red Wings.

Seabrook (abdomen) will be sidelined for approximately one week.

EDGE Analysis

Barring a setback, Seabrook should be healthy for the regular season opener. Signed through 2023-24, with an annual cap hit of $6.875 million, the 33-year-old defenseman must elevate his play substantially in 2018-19 after a dismal showing a season ago. Last year, Seabrook was limited to 26 points and finished with a minus-3 rating. Age certainly appears to have caught up with the once-upon-a-time blueline beast and with a full NMC attached to his contract, Seabrook isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.

Seabrook scored Chicago's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

It was his seventh of the season. Seabrook's production fell off the map this season -- over the last three seasons, his production dropped from 49 points to 39 and now to 26. The soon-to-be 33-year-old's game isn't getting any faster, but the NHL sure is around him. Don't count on a significant rebound next season. Count on steady, but unspectacular output for Seabrook in 2018-19.

Seabrook scored an empty-net goal in a 3-1 victory over the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The goal gives Seabrook a modest 3-game point streak, which includes a pair of goals. It's great to see the 32-year-old ending the season on a high note, but there's still nothing special about his overall numbers. Seabrook isn't a liability in any particularly fantasy category, which makes him a commodity, but he also doesn't excel in any particular area either. He has six goals, 24 points and a minus-1 rating in 75 games this season.
