Hurricanes’ Bickell diagnosed with MS

RALEIGH, N.C.— Carolina Hurricanes forward Bryan Bickell has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. “Since the 2015 playoffs, I’ve been struggling to understand what was going on with my body,” Bickell said Friday. “Again during the past few weeks, it felt like something wasn’t right.” The 30-year-old, who has one goal in seven games this season, called the diagnosis a “shock” but said he hopes to return. He was a member of Chicago’s Stanley Cup-winning teams in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
