Bryan Bickell skates in first NHL game since Jan. 8
by Jake Perper | Fri, Apr 8th 9:58am EDT
Due to injuries to veteran forwards Marian Hossa, Andrew Shaw and Artem Anisimov, the Blackhawks recalled Bryan Bickell from AHL Rockford. He skated in his first game since Jan. 8 and saw 9:11 TOI in Friday's 2-1 OT loss to St. Louis.
Fantasy Impact:
The 30-year-old LW added 15 goals and 16 assists in 44 AHL games. This game marked his 24th in the NHL this season with Chicago where he has two assists. Don't expect Bickell to be active in the playoffs, but he should be kept on the postseason roster for emergency situations like this.
