VANCOUVER AT COLORADO

-

Spotlight on Henrik Sedin: The Canucks’ captain entered Sunday’s game at Arizona with just two goals in 61 games. Sedin, 37, has always been more of a playmaker (821 career assists) than a goal scorer (239), but he’s on pace for a career low in goals. Still, Sedin is tied with his twin, Daniel, as Vancouver’s third-leading scorer with 39 points. Daniel Sedin, who is more of a finisher, has 386 career goals. The Swedish brothers are pending unrestrict­ed free agents this summer, and their future with Vancouver, and the NHL, is uncertain.
