Higgins Sidelined

The Montreal Canadiens announced Friday that former Yale forward Christopher Higgins will be sidelined for four to six weeks as a result of a shoulder injury sustained on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames.

Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau said Higgins' injury is the same injury that has kept defenceman Mike Komisarek out since mid-November.

In 21 games, Higgins has five goals and four assists.
