Riggans out another month

The good news from backup C Shawn Riggians' visit to noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews is that he doesn't appear to need surgery on his sore right shoulder.

The bad news is that he is going to need at least three weeks of rest to see if that calms down the irritation and inflammation, and then some rehab, which means it looks like at least mid-June until he would be able to return to active duty.

Riggans has been on the DL since April 10 and played in just one game.
