Sedin is no longer dealing with the back spasms that caused him to miss last Sunday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Sedin appears good to go heading into Saturday's matchup, but that should be confirmed when the lines are released during warmups, if not before then. The veteran winger has been on a bit of a point binge recently when on the ice, racking up five of them (two goals, three assists) over his last four tilts. He should slot back into his normal top-six role with the Canucks on Saturday assuming his back doesn't act up again.

Sedin is dealing with back spasms and won't play in Sunday's game against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

With Vancouver about to enter their bye week, this is likely a precautionary measure to help keep the veteran healthy for the stretch run. With Sedin out Michael Chaput will suit up in his absence and Sven Baertschi will likely slot up to the second line, and the 37-year-old will shoot to return for next Saturday's tilt against Edmonton.

Sedin tallied a goal and an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Canadiens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With his goal and helper, the Canucks were able to tie the score in the first few minutes of the third period, but the Canadiens came screaming back and opened things up again. The 37-year-old is far from the player he once was, but Sedin is on pace to surpass his 15 goals and 44 points from a season ago. With a little more lady luck in the shooting percentage department, Sedin could reach the 20-goal mark for the 11th time in his career.

Sedin potted his seventh goal of the season, added an assist and fired eight shots on goal in Tuesday's loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Sedin may be 37 years of age, but the veteran forward is still supplying plenty of goods for fantasy goers. He's racked up 23 points through 35 games and has been uite consistent with his production. He isn't posting monstrous numbers, but Sedin sees first unit power-play time and doesn't go long periods without getting on the scoresheet. The Swedish forward is a safe fantasy play in most formats right now.

Sedin posted three assists, including two on the power play, and six shots on goal during a 4-3 overtime victory against the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Sedin brothers each had assists on the first three Canucks goals on Friday, involving themselves on every score the team had except the overtime game-winner. This was his first multi-point night since Nov. 30, but Sedin does have a goal and nine points in the last eight games. Sedin isn't a threat to score 30 goals anymore, but as Friday indicated, he still racks up plenty of assists and power-play points to contribute to fantasy lineups.

Sedin scored his sixth goal of the season and added a helper in Thursday's win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was the 1,000th NHL point for Sedin, who has cemented himself as one of the greatest players in franchise history. The veteran has been a decent fantasy winger this season, notching six goals and 15 points in 26 contests. His tally Thursday came with the man advantage, as it's his role on the first power-play unit that makes him worth owning in many fantasy settings.

Sedin potted his fifth goal of the season and added an assist in Friday's loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Sedin has recorded multi-point efforts in two of his last three contests, bringing him to five goals and seven assists in 23 games on the season. While he may no longer be the point-per-game player he once was, the 37-year-old is showing that he's still a reliable fantasy winger. Sedin plays on the second line and is still a force with the man advantage, making him worth owning in deep leagues and some shallow formats.

Sedin scored his fourth goal of the season and added a helper in Tuesday's win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It was one of his better efforts on the season, as Sedin scored a slick breakaway goal and set up Brock Boeser on the power play. The multi-point effort snapped a five-game pointless drought for Sedin, who now has 10 points in 21 games on the season. Expect some inconsistency, but his second-line gig and role on the power play still make him a valuable fantasy option.

Sedin registered a pair of helpers in Tuesday's 5-3 road win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

This was Sedin's first multi-point game of the season, and he's inconsistently produced three goals and five assists through 15 games this season. He and twin brother Henrik's best days are behind them, but there's no expiration date on natural talent, so consider them decent, no-frills fantasy option for season-long leagues with Daniel being the superior option.

Sedin skated a season-low 8:38 in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The torch is being passed. It's clearly time for younger players such as Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat to lead the charge in Vancouver and the twins likely recognize that. Daniel is still locked into a top-six role and playing on the power play, but he's only managed two goals and five points in 13 contests thus far. The veteran will still produce decent numbers, but he's no longer being relied on as one of the team's top players, so lower your expectations a bit.
