There was no masking Chris Higgins' frustration yesterday, not
once the winger smashed his stick against the boards in the midst
of a practice scrimmage in which things did not go his way and the
puck did not go in the net.

tonight's match at the Garden against the Sharks (7 p.m, Versus,
WNYM) with the Blueshirts looking to extend their winning streak to
eight games.
"This is not the start I wanted with a new team, but I can't let it get to me," Higgins, the 26-year-old Long Island native acquired from Montreal in the Scott Gomez trade, said after it momentarily got to him. "If I'm not picking up points, I have to contribute in other ways, on the penalty kill and by playing a strong defensive game."
