Sedin twins score as Canucks beat Wild
Written by on February 10th, 2012 in Latest News.
Henrik and Daniel Sedin both scored against Minnesota for the first time in their careers to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 win over the Wild on Thursday night.
Maxim Lapierre, Manny Malhotra and Ryan Kesler also scored for the Canucks.
A CT scan earlier in the day on Henrik Sedin’s foot came back clean and the Canucks captain played in his 553rd consecutive game, the second-longest active streak in the NHL.
Henrik’s foot appeared to be just fine when he flew in behind a Wild defender and gave the Canucks (34-15-5) a 3-1 lead early in the second period.
Dany Heatley scored 13 seconds into the game for the Wild (25-21-8), the fastest goal to start a game in team history.
