Daniel is second on the Canucks in scoring this season with 52 points (21 goals, 31 assists), behind rookie Brock Boeser, who has 55 points (29 goals, 26 assists). Henrik is third with 48 points (three goals, 45 assists) for Vancouver (30-40-9), which will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a third consecutive season.
"I always thought they would keep playing," goalie Jacob Markstrom said. "It's what they always do, keep putting up points."
Daniel leads the Canucks in goals (391), power-play goals (137) and game-winning goals (85), and won the Art Ross Trophy with 104 points (41 goals, 63 assists) in 2010-11. Henrik is first in in assists (828), points (1,068), and plus/minus (167) and won the Hart and Art Ross trophies in 2009-10 after he had 112 points (29 goals, 83 assists). Daniel, who has 1,038 points, and Henrik are the only brothers in NHL history to each reach 1,000 points.
"Mixed emotions," said Canucks president Trevor Linden, who played his final six NHL seasons with the Sedins. "I am happy for them because I know this is a decision they have come to for the right reasons and they are 100 percent certain this is the right thing. But from the standpoint of a fan, I just loved watching them play. They played the game in such a unique way. The way they created time and space with their ability to find one another has been so much fun to watch for so long, and I'm going to miss watching that."
