Henrik Sedin: Henrik Sedin might miss some time with LBI

The Canucks did however announce that someone will be recalled from Utica.

Early in the second period, Sedin’s twin brother, Henrik (31 points), suffered a lower-body injury and did not return.

Markstrom, Ryan Miller’s backup, had a superb second period – he made five stops during one power play – and kept the Canucks within 1-0.

Per NHL.com’s Adam Kimelman, Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins revealed Thursday night Sedin was dealing with the ailment even prior to the Flyers game: “I’ve been aware of it for a little bit”. That season began an impressive trend for the center, who appeared in every contest 11 times during his first 14 campaigns.

“We played the full 60 minutes plus the overtime”, said Jared McCann, who scored the game’s first goal. Center Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist and forward Joakim Andersson and center and captain Henrik Zetterberg scored for Detroit in the first 65 minutes.

Vancouver outshot Detroit 27-10 in the first two periods, including a 17-5 margin in the first.

Vrbata scored at 5:33 of the third period to give Vancouver a 3-2 lead. The under is 3-0-1 in Blue Jackets last 4 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game and is 11-0-1 in Blue Jackets last 12 vs. Eastern Conference while the Blue Jackets are 0-4 in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. “That might have been the worst start we’ve had all year, and when you aren’t ready to play, it takes an extraordinarily long time to get yourself in gear”.

Raffl’s tally came on the power play with 3 minutes, 15 seconds left in the first period. The Flyers won the game 2-0, giving Steve Mason a shutout in his first start in 9 days.
