Montreal Canadiens forward Chris Higgins will miss six weeks of action after MRI results showed a partially torn ligament in his left ankle.

Rookie Guillaume Latendresse will take Higgins' spot alongside Saku Koivu and Michaeal Ryder when they face the Edmonton Oilers tonight.

Higgins has put up eight goals and five assists in 13 games. He not only is a member of the Canadiens' top line and the team's scoring leader, but is also their best penalty killer with three of his eight goals coming short-handed.

The injury occurred in the third period of a 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night.

The six-foot 202-pound left-winger, a native of Smithtown, N.Y., was Montreal's first-round pick (14th overall) in the 2002 NHL entry draft.





Higgins has recorded 51 points (31-20) in 95 career regular-season games.




What a bummer!! I'm so upset...

Higgins is a quality offensive guy. Hope the Canadians do alright without him.

It'll be interesting to see how Latendresse does replacing him. He still doesn't have any points, right? I'm somewhat surprised they put him on the top line over Samsonov.

Well in the 2 or 3 games since Higgens went down Latendresse has one goal and one assist and was named the first star in his first game on the big line
