Hurting `Hawks

Chicago, already without defenseman Brian Campbell — whose collarbone was broken after the hit by Alexander Ovechkin — may now also be without defenseman Brent Seabrook, who took a huge hit from Anaheim’s James Wisniewski last night and had to leave the game in the second period. Also, goalie Cristobal Huet has been suffering from flu symptoms this week. Replacement call-up Corey Crawford got the start against the Ducks last night, so it’s almost certain that the Kings will see Antti Niemi, who beat them last week in Chicago. Here’s the hit on Seabrook. Thoughts?
