Seabrook won't travel with Blackhawks for playoffs

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook won't travel with the club to Edmonton for the playoffs, the team announced Friday.

Seabrook has undergone three separate surgeries - one on his right shoulder and one on each hip - since he last played in December, but it was reported in early July that he'd attempt to take the ice if a return-to-play plan came to fruition.

The 35-year-old appeared in 32 games for Chicago this past season, notching four points while averaging just over 18 minutes per contest.

Seabrook is in his 15th NHL season and has won three Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks.
