BOSTON — Jason Dickinson felt completely fine last week as the Blackhawks flew to California, played the Kings and took a bus to Anaheim.

Then he woke up in the middle of the night before the Ducks game and felt awful. He ultimately missed that game, as well as the matchup against the Hurricanes this Monday, due to an illness. He lost seven or eight pounds in the process.
