Brent Seabrook has always had a huge shot and been known for scoring big goals throughout his career.
He appears to be taking it to a new level in 2014-15, as he was one of five Blackhawks players voted onto the NHL's All-Star roster and is having his best season in a Chicago uniform.
Seabrook regularly has to take a backseat to defense partner, a two-time Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith. Additionally, when the Blackhawks go into a shutdown mode, head coach Joel Quenneville tends to put the defensive pairing of Niklas Hjalmarsson and Johnny Oduya on the ice.
