Cumiskey probably won't secure a spot on the Hawks' Opening Night roster before the end of training camp, but will likely continue to work out with the team in hopes of receiving a contract offer once Chicago inevitably suffers an injury to their defensive corps.

Cumiskey saw nine games worth of action in the postseason after veteran Kimmo Timonen proved ill suited to handle a third-pairing role, but did little to distinguish himself, failing to register a single point.

Cumiskey, who saw his first playoff action since 2010 in Game 2, admitted he was nervous but coach Joel Quenneville said he liked what he saw from the 28-year-old.

"I think offensively he has speed and quickness, he can get involved a little bit more with moving up ice, off the point as well. I think defensively he's fine."
