"The Blackhawks reverted to some familiar-looking defensive pairings Friday when they faced the Ducks.

Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith were reunited on the top unit with Brian Campbell and Niklas Hjalmarsson paired again during the Hawks' 4-1 victory at Honda Center. The four, along with Jassen Cullimore and Nick Boynton, had been split apart the last seven games as coach Joel Quenneville searched for the right combinations.

"It felt easier going back with (Seabrook)," Keith said. "You separate and you feel like you work on your game a little bit and get to back to basics."

Added Quenneville: "I like the way the pairs have been since we split up. At the same time, with Duncan and Seabrook, it's a nice thing to get back to. Campbell and Hjalmarsson have a good pairing going as well. In the course of the season … anybody can pretty well play with anybody back there and we know we're going to get the job done.""
