Sedin returned to the Canucks lineup on Monday in Detroit after missing the previous six games. Sedin also played on Tuesday in Boston, both nights he played more than 20 minutes, but was held off of the scoresheet. "We are shutting Henrik down for next 2 games. He wants to play, but he's not as effective as we need him to be right now," said Canucks head coach John Tortorella.
Sedin missed the last six games, but he will suit up for Monday's tilt with the Red Wings. Sedin has 40 points (9G / 31A) and a plus-7 rating in 50 games this season. Daniel will be excited to get his brother back on his line tonight, he recorded just one assist in the six games that Henrik missed.
Sedin will miss his sixth consecutive game tonight, but things are trending in the right direction for him to play on Monday in Detroit.
Sedin has missed the last five games and probably won't play Friday in Winnipeg, but the Canucks are hoping he returns for a couple of games before taking off for Sochi, Russia.
The Canucks are in action on Sunday and Sedin's absence at Saturday's practice does not bode well for his availability for Sunday's clash with Phoenix. Monitor his status during Sunday's morning skate.
This was pretty obvious on Wednesday, but he is confirmation that Henrik will miss his second straight game. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Coyotes.
Sedin did not skate on Wednesday which puts his status for Thursday's contest in jeopardy. When his ironman streak was intact, he likely would have tried harder to be in the lineup, but now that that is over the Canucks will tread lightly with their star playmaker.
Sedin's ironman streak will come to an end at 679 games. That is the sixth longest in NHL history, the last time he missed a regular season game was during the 2003-04 season. Sedin is listed as day-to-day.
Sedin missed the third period of Saturday's game and his absence at practice today puts his availability for tomorrow game in jeopardy. Monitor his status following Tuesday's morning skate.
Sedin was questionable to play on Saturday, but he was in the lineup but only saw 12:11 TOI, before retiring to dressing room for the night. Monitor his status before Tuesday's game in Edmonton.
Sedin has played in an amazing 678 straight games for the Canucks, a streak that is in jeopardy tonight. We are hearing that there is about a 50/50 chance that Sedin will play. Monitor his status at the morning skate and again tonight during warmups.
Like Daniel, Henrik has played all 13 seasons with Vancouver after being drafted third overall in 1999. One of the NHL's premiere playmakers has 625 assists to go along with 185 goals in 955 career games. He is currently tied for second in the NHL with 18 points (3 G / 15 A).
Henrik will play to keep his iron man streak alive but he won't play much. He will play with Steve Pizizzotto and Dale Weise.
Although we expect Sedin to play, he remains a game-time decision. The top line center has 11 goals and 57 points in 53 games. His absence would create a huge hole down the middle.
Sedin will give it a go tonight and try to grit through his ankle injury. The top line center has 11 goals and 57 points in 53 games. His absence would create a huge hole down the middle.
