Chicago's Brent Seabrook suspended three games image

Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook was suspended for three games for his hit on St. Louis captain David Backes in Game 2 on Saturday.

The Blackhawks trail the series, 2-0.

His hit knocked Backes out of the game. Seabrook was ejected from the game. 

“I was just trying to make a play on Backes,” Seabrook told reporters Saturday after the game. “I thought the puck was there. I was on (Alexander) Steen. I was just coming down the wall and I just tried to finish my hit.”
