NHL makes a statement on former Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin
The National Hockey League has made a statement featuring former Vancouver Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
Daniel and Henrik Sedin were big members of the Vancouver Canucks organization on and off the ice and will always be considered legends by the fans. The production the Sedin twins had throughout the their time together is remarkable and in a recent social media post, their offensive contributions were highlighted.
In a post on Instagram, the National Hockey League took a look at the most combined points by teammates since the 2005-06 season. It's worth noting that the NHL's list is in regards to points the two players combined for while playing in the same game since 2005.
For Daniel and Henrik Sedin, they come in at fifth on the NHL's list with a combined 1,765 points, 594 less than the first place duo - Sidney Crosby & Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Sedin twins were integral parts of the Canucks' offence during their 17 years in the National Hockey League and played big roles in helping the team reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2011.
In retirement, the Sedins are giving back and using their expertise to become coaches with Vancouver Canucks and will help the team next season with their powerplay units. The change to their role with the Canucks will be extremely beneficial to this crop of players, especially when considering the Sedins combined for 199 powerplay goals during their time in the National Hockey League.
