His teammates likely won't be as subdued.
"I'll be pretty pumped and celebrating hard when he gets it," forward Jake Virtanen said. "Both Sedins are legends, and people don't give them the credit they deserve, but they've played a lot of tough games. When together, they're almost unstoppable with how they pass to each other; it's pretty special to watch."
In addition to Henrik Sedin, five active NHL players have reached 1,000 points: Jaromir Jagr of the Calgary Flames, Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks, Patrick Marleau of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, and Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I've said a lot of times [Daniel and Henrik Sedin] are Hall of Fame hockey players and Hall of Fame people," Canucks coach Travis Green said. "[Daniel] is going to get those two points, we know that, and it'll be a nice accomplishment. He's been in the League a long time and has done a lot of great things."
Daniel's best season was 2010-11, his 10th in the League. He won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL scoring leader with 104 points (41 goals, 63 assists). The Canucks have gone to a younger and faster lineup in this first season under Green, and as a result the Sedins have seen their ice time diminish. Daniel averaged 18:03 last season and is averaging 14:02 this season; Henrik averaged 19:02 last season and is averaging 14:05 this season.
"They're not playing as much as they once were, but just having been around them and what they mean for that franchise and that city, it has always been the twins," said Devils goalie Cory Schneider, who played five seasons for Vancouver before he was traded to New Jersey on June 30, 2013. "That kind of consistency and the way you represent your team and organization means a lot, so I think they could be Hall of Famers one day."
When Henrik scored his 1,000th NHL point against the Florida Panthers on Jan. 21 last season, a goal on that Daniel assisted, he became the 38th player to do so with one NHL franchise and the fourth Sweden-born player to reach the milestone, joining Mats Sundin (1,349), Daniel Alfredsson (1,157) and Nicklas Lidstrom (1,142).
Henrik scored his 1,000th point (233 goals, 767 assists) in his 1,213th game in his 16th season and has 1,031 points (239 goals, 792 assists) in 1,271 games.
