Any hope that newly acquired forward Chris Higgins is going to push for a spot in Vancouver's top six will have to wait.
The winger's thumb is in a splint after he broke it blocking a shot Friday against Atlanta, meaning he could be out two-to-three weeks. He's still awaiting a full medical examination on the thumb, something that won't happen until he gets to Vancouver. Initial reports had him out for four weeks.
"I don't think it's going to be that long, but I'll find out when I see the doctor in Vancouver," Higgins said. "They're trying to get me (to Vancouver) tonight but that could be hard. It could be hard to make sure I got everything."
