Higgins season not going as planned: The Sports Xchange reports LW Christopher Higgins' first season in New York hasn't gone as planned, as he has no goals and two assists in his first 11 appearances. But the Long Island native looked forward to hearing some boos on the road Saturday in Montreal, where Higgins spent the first four seasons of his NHL career. "That's what happens to every opposing player who comes back," said Higgins, who was benched in the third period after taking a costly penalty. "No better place to turn things around, that's for sure."

Fantasy Analysis

Higgins hasn't seen a lot of top-six time because of his poor play and the Rangers aren't sure what it will take to snap the left winger out of his slump. Higgins is a 20-goal threat, but clearly is a bad start in Fantasy until he turns his season around.

Higgins finally scored his first goal of the season Tuesday in a 4-1 loss at Vancouver.
