Daniel Sedin News

Sedin was taken off the ice on a stretcher late in the second period of Sunday night’s regular-season finale against the Calgary Flames after taking a hit from behind.

Sedin crumpled to the ice after getting hit in the numbers by Calgary’s Paul Byron in the Vancouver zone with 2:44 left in the period. The Canucks’ trainer rushed to Sedin’s side and immediately signalled for a stretcher. The Canucks said Sedin was taken in stable condition to Vancouver General Hospital to undergo further evaluation. He exhibited signs of movement to his extremities and showed improvement from initially being hit.

Sedin (leg) will return to the Canucks lineup on Sunday.

Sedin has missed the last nine games with a leg injury that he suffered on March 2nd. He will replace Alex Burrows (thumb) on the Canucks top line and power-play unit. The Canucks are not completely out of the playoff race, but they will need the Sedin's to take over and win games for them.

Daniel Sedin takes a demotion in linemates with Henrik out.

Sedin was bumped from the top-line in practice today. With his brother out of the lineup, Daniel found himself alongside Zac Dalpe and Zack Kassian on the second line. Henrik and Daniel should be reunited soon, but while Henrik is out, Daniel's fantasy stock takes a hit.

He also mentioned he is in the worse shape he's been in in the last 5 years. The Canucks, however, will take whatever boost they can get and Daniel Sedin is certainly an offensive boost.

Expect Sedin to miss a few more games. With only seven games remaining in the Canucks' regular season schedule, you might want to consider dropping him in single-season formats.
