Prodigal son: Bryan Bickell returns to Blackhawks again

Bryan Bickell may have not played his last game with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Bickell was recalled by the Blackhawks from the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs on Wednesday. He had been reassigned to the AHL for the second time this season on Jan. 17. He had eight goals and nine assists in 32 games in his latest stint in Rockford. He’s played 44 games in the AHL this season.

Bickell has been on a wild journey since last season’s playoffs. He suffered a vision issue in the playoffs and played in just 18 of the 23 games. He started off slow this season and had his ice time reduced over the first month.
