It will be an emotional one in St. Paul on Tuesday.

After being recalled by the Carolina Hurricanes from the AHL's Charlotte Checkers on Monday, forward Bryan Bickell will make his long-awaited return to the lineup Tuesday in Minnesota against the Wild.

The veteran forward, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis earlier this season, hasn't appeared in the lineup since Oct. 30, but has since played in 10 games with the Checkers, recording four points.

Bickell, 31, won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015.
