It’s official – Vancouver Canucks centre Henrik Sedin has beat Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin in a close race for the coveted Art Ross Trophy. The trophy is awarded to the player with the most points achieved during the regular season in the NHL.
Henrik finished with 112 points on the season last night in a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames, while Ovechkin came close behind with 109 points after a 4-3 shoot-out loss against the Boston Bruins.
Henrik is the first Canuck to receive the Art Ross Trophy in team history.
The Montreal Canadiens don’t have much luck when they visit Vancouver to take on the Canucks. The Habs were beaten 7-1 last night by a hungry Canucks team looking for their first win of the season.
Ryan Kesler opened the scoring in the first period and was followed by Alex Burrows, Steve Bernier, Mason Raymond, Mikael Samuelsson and Henrik Sedin. Sedin was twice able to slip the puck past Montreal’s goal tender, Carey Price.
The Dallas Stars are in town on Sunday, October 11th for a 7:00 PM PDT start.

Henrik and Daniel Sedin will be back playing with the Vancouver Canucks after signing a new contract just as they were about to become free agents. Both brothers signed 5 year, $30.5 million deal, which is a little short than the reported 12 year, $63 million contract they were looking for.
Canucks General Manager, Mike Gillis, flew to Sweden to talk with the twins in hope they would stay in Vancouver. Both Henrik and Daniel have been playing for the Canucks since they were first drafted in 1999.
The twins had their best season in 2008-2009, with Daniel scoring 31 goals and Henrik acheiving a career high of 22 goals.
