Bickell, Niemi lead Blackhawks past Canucks, 1-0

Bryan Bickell scored his first goal of the season 1:12 into the third period and Antii Niemi stopped 30 shots in Chicago's 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.

Bickell wasn't even sure he could play after being helped off the ice in Edmonton the previous night and Niemi was making his first appearance in 2 1/2 weeks. (MORE)
