Brent Seabrook did not practice on Thursday but he's expected to play Friday when the Blackhawks face the Washington Capitals.
Coach Joel Quenneville said Seabrook was, "fine," and that the defenseman would travel to Washington. Corey Crawford will start. The Capitals, coming off a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, have now won seven in a row.

"This year [the Capitals] started off OK but now they have that extra gear," Quenneville said. "This will be a great test for us tomorrow. It's definitely going to be interesting."
Marcus Kruger, who's been out nearly two weeks, could skate on Friday morning. Quenneville said Kruger is still on the original three-week timetable to return.
