Daniel Sedin scored his 12th goal of the season and added an assists in the Canucks 3-1 win over Chicago Blackhawks.

Daniel has been very inconsistent in the goal scoring department for the first time since 2005-06. He is always a threat to score while paired with twin brother Henrik Sedin so make sure you keep him in your line up.
Apr 23 - 1:46 AM

Daniel Sedin scored a power-play goal on Wednesday.

Sedin has 11 goals and 34 points in 40 games this season. He had a somewhat rough month by his standards in March, but he's bounced back with five points in his last four games.
Apr 11 - 11:42 AM

Daniel Sedin recorded his ninth goal of the season and added an assist in Vancouver’s 3-2 win over St. Louis on Tuesday.

The goal breaks Sedin’s nine-game goalless streak in what has otherwise been a fairly consistent campaign for the stud left-winger. He has 27 points in 29 games, placing him directly behind his twin brother, Henrik, on top of the Canucks’ scoring list. Dale Weise tallied the game winning goal for Vancouver.
Mar 20 - 12:57 AM

The Vancouver Canucks have not scored in their last 23 power play chances.

They are currently 24th in the NHL on the power play after being near or at the top of the standings the last few seasons. The Canucks need to turn things around or their playoff run could be a short one.
Mar 12 - 11:45 AM

Daniel Sedin recorded two goals in Vancouver's 8-3 loss to the Red Wings on Sunday afternoon.

Just another night at the office for one of the world's best players. Sedin now has seven goals and 19 points on the season. Henrik Sedin chipped in with assists on both goals. Chris Higgins had the other marker.
Feb 24 - 8:03 PM

Daniel Sedin recorded a goal and an assist in the Canucks’ tough 4-3 overtime shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Sedin’s assist came on Kevin Bieksa’s late marker in third, which sent the game into overtime. He’s been fairly consistent this year, with five goals and 15 points in 15 games played. Expect Sedin to continue at his point per game pace and make fantasy owners quite happy.
Feb 20 - 12:02 AM

Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist in Vancouver's 4-3 loss Friday night.

Sedin now has four goals and 12 points in 13 games. He should maintain at least a point-per-game pace in 2013, but he wouldn't be shocking if he breaks out and makes a run for the Art Ross Trophy.
Feb 16 - 11:11 AM

Daniel Sedin scored and collected an assist on the power play in Vancouver's dominant 5-0 win over Anaheim Friday night.

Sedin has at least a point in each of the Canucks' first four games. In Vancouver's 2 games against the Ducks, Sedin has 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points. On the season, Sedin has 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points.
Jan 26 - 2:56 AM

Daniel Sedin scored a goal and added an assist in Vancouver's season opening 7-3 loss to Anaheim Saturday night.

Head Coach Adam Vigneault rolled all four lines in Saturday's blowout loss, with the Canuck's first line of Sedin, his brother and Alexander Burrows playing just a couple minutes more than the team's third and fourth lines.
Jan 20 - 2:43 AM

The Canucks will host the Ducks in their season opener Jan. 19, according to The Los Angeles Times' Helene Elliott.

The Orange County Register's Eric Stephens is also reporting the same and says though the date of the Ducks' home opener isn't set yet, it'll likely come after a two-game road trip. Vancouver finished with a 27-10-4 record last season on home ice and will look to continue that success in this shortened season.
Jan 9 - 9:27 PM

Daniel and Henrik Sedin made a surprise appearance at the Vancouver Thunderbirds practice Thursday.

The Thunderbirds are a Midget Triple A team and the Sedins participated in their practice as part of an NHLPA initiative. "It brought back a lot of memories of when I was younger, especially thinking of us and when we were starting out, playing at night on an outdoor rink," Henrik said. "You’d be out there at 7:30 or 8 at night. We’d have big lights to light it all up and we’d be out there practicing for an hour and a half". Needless to say, the 15-year olds were thrilled to get a chance to workout with the twins. You think the Sedins miss hockey?

Daniel Sedin opened up about his recent experience with a concussion.

Sedin dealt with a concussion last season. "It seems when you get a few concussions, it’s easier to get the third or fourth one," Sedin said. "I don’t know if rest really helps or what the deal is with that. I’m happy that I’m back and skating, and that’s all I worry about. You notice at times, in the first few practices, that you’re kind of hesitant in the corners because you don’t want to be blind-sided and not be ready for it. You see the tiniest hit and it cost a guy a full year and you see a big hit and a guy is back in a week. It’s a tricky injury and that’s why it’s so scary. I’ve had nothing, no symptoms. I took a few weeks off after the season and started training again. You worry about the first few workouts, but everything has been fine. I’m doing the same things that I did before [the concussion] and that was the bottom line." He should be fine to play once the lockout ends.

Daniel Sedin is ready to face a lockout as part of a unified players' union.

"I think every player is on board," he said. "They're more involved. We had meetings in Europe, conference calls. It's on a totally different level. Everyone knows what's going on and what's at stake and we're prepared for everything right now. It's a different feeling." The Vancouver Canucks star also stated that he isn't very optimistic about the chances of avoiding a lockout with the the Sept. 15 deadline around the corner because "We're too far apart right now to really be optimistic, but you never know."

Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini is fighting to keep his team's financial records private during his divorce proceedings.

Obviously, the Canucks would prefer for that information not to go public - especially if the salary cap increases as expected this summer and in the future. This is what people call "billionaire problems."
