Henrik Sedin hurt in Canucks’ loss to the Flyers

Linden Vey, making his season debut, scored in the seventh round of the shootout to give the Vancouver Canucks a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.

Sedin has only missed 12 games in the last 11 seasons, all during the 2013-14 season.

Vey was recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League by the Canucks, who played without injured captain Henrik Sedin.

Henrik Sedin is Vancouver’s second-leading scorer behind his twin brother Daniel. Henrik is second on the team in scoring with 31 points. Zetterberg tied the score at 3 with 1:07 left in the third period.

Any goal is impressive for the Canucks these days.

After a rough outing against Minnesota on Tuesday night, Ryan Miller gets the night off tonight.

But Vrbata’s goal dimmed when Zetterberg tied it up.

Vancouver has lost all three games to begin its six-game road trip. Anyway, it was a much more important game to Vancouver than the calendar indicated.

Sedin suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday’s 2-0 loss in Philadelphia.

With 8:55 left in the second, hustling R.J. Umberger almost ended a 34-game streak without a goal when, while falling to the ice, he fired a shot from the slot that was ticketed before Markstrom kicked out his left leg to make the save. “I thought our first two periods were outstanding”. He has tallied four times on the power play and has scored one of the team’s two short-handed goals. “We were able to do enough to earn a point”. It was Vrbata’s first point in five. Some of that refreshing oxygen, however, was pumped from their lungs with the Red Wings, outshot 27-10 through two periods, managed to close within a goal heading into the third period.

PANTHERS 2, HURRICANES 0: In Raleigh, North Carolina, Roberto Luongo made 24 saves, Willie Mitchell scored his first goal of the season 4:09 into the third period as Florida won its third in a row.
