Seabrook will not be playing in Worlds, citing that his wife is due to give birth in two weeks, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner was good for three goals and 39 assists in 79 regular season games, but didn't record a point as the Blackhawks were swept in the first round. Seabrook does add a significant defensive presence, though, recording 111 hits and 147 blocked shots.

Seabrook will sit out as healthy scratch Thursday night against the Ducks, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks are resting several of their star regulars with the playoffs looming, causing quite a headache for fantasy owners still in pursuit of a fantasy title and relying on said players. Seabrook's regular-season campaign just might come to an end after generating 39 points (three goals, 36 assists), 111 hits and 140 blocked shots over 78 games.

Seabrook assisted on both of Chicago's goals and registered five shots on net during Sunday's loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

It's been another solid fantasy campaign for Seabrook, as the veteran defenseman has posted 39 points, 128 shots, 110 hits and 139 blocked shots to provide nice cross-category coverage. He's locked into a significant role and has a history of raising his game in the postseason, so expect Seabrook to garner plenty of attention in playoff settings.

Seabrook set up the games' first two goals Saturday -- including a power-play dish to Patrick Kane -- helping the Blackhawks to a 5-3 road win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Seabrook's helpers were of the primary variety, helping him to the 30-assist level for the second straight season and also the fourth time in his career. This guy's on-ice vision is 20-20, and there's plenty of value extracted from a defenseman who's picked up 15 points on the man advantage so far. While he may not rank among the elite, he makes for an excellent No. 2 fantasy option in most formats.

Seabrook has only tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in 12 games in January.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a bit of a trying month for Seabrook and his owners, but the 31-year-old blueliner is still on pace to put up a respectable 39 points this season and is averaging over three minutes of ice time on the man advantage per game, so there's no need to panic yet. Seabrook will hope to break out of his scoring slump following the NHL's impending All-Star break.

Seabrook had a pair of assists in the 5-4 victory over the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks defenseman assisted both of Artemi Panarin's power-play goals. Although he did have the two helpers, it was a rough night for Seabrook at even strength, as he posted a minus-3 rating. He has two goals and 18 points with a plus-4 rating in 30 games this season.

Seabrook (upper body) will be in the lineup Tuesday night against the Rangers, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Without Seabrook, the Blackhawks took a loss to the Rangers on Friday, but managed a 3-1 home win over the Stars on Sunday. Fortunately, the injury seemingly was minor, and fantasy owners should feel safe activating the talented blueliner for the upcoming contest. He's up to 16 points (two goals, 14 assists) in 28 games with a pair of goals and four helpers on the man advantage, and the plus-7 rating is nice as well.

Seabrook (upper body) will join the Blackhawks on their upcoming three-game road trip, Eric Lear of Blackhawks TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabrook was expected to travel with the club after skating in Sunday's optional practice, but remains without a firm return date at this point. His first chance to take the ice on the road comes Tuesday against the Rangers, so the team should update the blueliner's status again before the contest.

On a positive note, the 6-foot-3 rearguard is considered day-to-day at this juncture, indicating he could be ready to return to game action as soon as Sunday against the Stars.
