VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks received bad news less than 12 hours after knocking off the Edmonton Oilers and taking over top spot in the Northwest Division.
Chris Higgins is out of the lineup due to an ailing hand – similar to the staph infection to his foot that sidelined him for two games earlier this month — and will not travel with the team to California, where the Canucks will play the next three games, beginning today against the San Jose Sharks.
Higgins, who didn’t skate Tuesday, arrived at Rogers Arena for practice with a swollen hand and was sent to hospital to undergo more tests, said head coach Alain Vigneault.
