I asked Sheldon Brookbank if this was his kind of series. "You'd better believe it." #Blackhawks

Analysis:
With fellow defenseman Brent Seabrook suspended for three games for his Game 2 hit on Blues captain David Backes, Brookbank will take his place on the blue line. Brookbank is expected to skate on the third pairing with Nick Leddy, and should play in games four and five as well since Seabrook still won't be available.
