Neimi Seals it for Blackhawks

Two unlikely play­ers led the Chicago Black­hawks to their lat­est 1–0 vic­tory over the Vancouver’s Canucks. Bryan Bick­ell scored his first goal of the sea­son and Antii Niemi stopped 30 shots for the shutout.

Black­hawks coach Joel Quen­nelville called Niemi’s play “Spec­tac­u­lar”. He kept the game score­less through two peri­ods until defense­man Brian Camp­bell set up the only goal early in the third. He lost the puck in a crowd in front but it squirted back for Bick­ell to tap-in a goal, his first since 2007, behind goalie Roberto Luongo.

Niemi came up with sev­eral big saves through­out the game. Van­cou­ver nearly tied it with 6 1/2 min­utes left to play when Alexan­der Edler’s beat Luongo but hit the blocker side post. Chicago has some great tal­ent but Niemi and Bick­nell were cer­tainly the unex­pected heroes in this game.
