It looks like Daniel Sedin is getting ready to rejoin the Vancouver Canucks lineup after missing 18 games due to a broken foot. I’m not a Canucks fan but I’m pretty happy to see him getting back on the ice. In anticipation of his return, the team has sent forward, Matt Pettinger, back to the AHL.

It is likely that Daniel will get to team up with his twin brother, Henrik, in tonight’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks. They really are great together but Henrik has done a good job in his brothers’ absence.
Since it happened in just the fourth game of the season, it must have been weird for Henrik since this is the first time that Daniel has been out of play for a longer length of time since this is really his first serious injury.
A lot of people, myself included, wondered what would happen to Henrik but he’s proven that he’s not dependent on his brother. He already has 13 goals so it’s clear that he can do more than set up plays for Daniel.
