As a member of the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Calgary Flames and most recently the Florida Panthers, over the last six seasons, Higgins had the displeasure of facing Vancouver six times and he dreaded it on each and every occasion.
The troubling thing now for Higgins, a 27-year-old New York product who was acquired from the Panthers during Monday’s trade deadline in exchange for Evan Oberg and a 3rd round pick in 2013, is that he’s still nursing a injury and is unable to suit up with his new squad.
"It’s kind of a nightmare getting traded to a team and you can’t play right away, but hopefully I can fill in right away," said Higgins, as he met with media for the first time in Vancouver.
