Daniel Sedin scores to hit 1,000th point of career
Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin scored a power-play goal midway through the third period of Thursday night's game against the Nashville Predators to record the 1,000th point of his career.
Sedin entered Thursday night stuck at 998 career points, but sealed the deal on his sixth goal of the year after earlier tallying an assist on Loui Eriksson's fourth of the year.
The 37-year-old is now the 87th player in NHL history to reach the mark and the eighth active player. In hitting the milestone, Henrik and Daniel are now the only brothers in league history to each score 1,000 points.
The Sedins are the second-highest scoring pair of brothers in NHL history behind Wayne Gretzky (894-1,963—2,857) and Brent Gretzky (1-3—4).
