Daniel Sedin (foot) will return to the Vancouver lineup on Sunday against the Blackhawks.
Sedin has been out action with a broken foot since Oct. 7 and is anxious to be back patrolling the wing with his brother, Henrik, again. Henrik Sedin did well in his twin's absence, notching 18 points in 18 games, but coach Alain Vigneault admitted that something was missing in his game without Daniel. "Yes, Henrik did get the same number of points, but his game and the way he gets his points, especially the time he spends in the other zone was not nearly as efficient as it is when his brother is there," said the Canucks' bench boss. "When they spend so much time in the other zone, the other team is spending energy defending without the puck. I think it will be real good to get his brother back. That's part of our game we expect and we need. It's going to be good to have those two guys back." Get him back in your lineup as soon as you can. Nov. 22 - 11:39 am et Source: Faceoff.com |
