This will be an occasion to appreciate what Daniel has meant as an individual, just as the milestone was for Henrik. He deserves his own moment, just as Henrik did.
Daniel will become the 87th player to reach 1,000 points in a league that celebrated its 100th anniversary Sunday and has had more than 7,600 players in its history. He will be the 39th to do it with one franchise, the second with the Canucks.
This is a player who won the Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion and was runner-up for the Hart Trophy as most valuable player in 2010-11, one season after his brother won both. He has scored as many as 41 goals in a season and at least 20 goals 10 times.
But this will be an occasion to appreciate what the Sedins have meant to each other and as a tandem too, especially important considering this could be their last season in the NHL.
Never before has the NHL had two brothers reach 1,000 points each, let alone two on the same team at the same time, let alone identical twins on the same line most of the time.
The closest comparison is Maurice and Henri Richard, the other pair of brothers with 900 points each. Each spent his entire career with the Montreal Canadiens, but they overlapped by five seasons. Maurice had 966 points from 1942-60. Henri had 1,046 from 1955-1975.
The Sedins' success has been intertwined tightly. After maneuvering by Canucks general manager Brian Burke at the 1999 NHL Draft, they were selected back to back: Daniel No. 2, Henrik No. 3. They came to North America from Sweden together in 2000-01. They have factored into the same Canucks goal 715 times. They have assisted on each other's goals 414 times; Henrik on 267 goals by Daniel, Daniel on 147 goals by Henrik.
"When I reached 1,000, I didn't think it was going to be an enormous deal," Henrik said. "But when it happened, it really meant a lot, just the way the teammates treated it, coming on the ice; obviously people around you, how much they enjoyed it as well. It's going to mean a lot."
The Sedins aren't the same players they once were, but they're the same people -- humble, polite, loyal.
They're 37, and the Canucks have a new coach in Travis Green, young players like Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat, and a faster style. Henrik's average ice time has dropped from 19:02 last season to 14:16 this season, Daniel's from 18:23 to 14:12. They expected it. They've accepted it.
