Flames invite Chris Higgins to camp on PTO

The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday they've invited veteran forward Chris Higgins to training camp on a PTO.

The 33-year-old spent last season with the Vancouver Canucks and their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, registering a combined 17 points in 55 games.

Higgins, a first-round pick in 2002, has also spent time with the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers, and the Flames during a brief 12-game stint in 2009-10.
