Fantasy Analysis
Chris Higgins has missed the past five games after having a bad reaction to his antibiotics. He has felt well enough to skate on his own the past couple days and should be back in the lineup come Monday night. The Canucks juggled their lines a bit while Higgins was out, so he might not return to his normal spot on the team's second line. (Updated 02/12/2012).
12/17/2011 22:33 Canucks end trip with win over Leafs
Roberto Luongo made 26 saves and the Vancouver Canucks wrapped up a long road trip with a 5-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
The Canucks acquired Higgins at the trade deadline last season, but he finished with just five points (2 G, 3 A) in 14 games with his new squad. Still, he must have impressed team brass, as Higgins ended up with a two-year contract extension this summer. The 28-year-old winger has shown the ability to pot 20-plus goal seasons, though hell likely be deployed on the Canucks third or fourth line, limiting his ability to rack up tons of points.
