4. Record Breaker Daniel
Okay, the headline is a lie. Daniel hasn’t broken a record yet. However, he tied Markus Naslund’s franchise goal record at 346 and will get a chance to break that record as soon as next game (at Capitals, Jan 14th, 2016).
Top-five goal scorers in Canucks history:
- Markus Naslund 346
- Daniel Sedin 346
- Trevor Linden 318
- Stan Smyl 262
- Pavel Bure 254
In points, however, Daniel is already far ahead of Naslund. As of today, he has 890 points in 1,061 games, trailing only his brother Henrik, who has 922 points in 1,092 contests. Naslund sits in third place in that ranking with “only” 756 points in 884 games.
Daniel’s game-winning goal against Florida marked his 72nd. That’s right, his 72nd. Naslund only had 49, Henrik is in third place with 34.
Daniel now has 19 goals and 21 assists in 43 games this season and he does not seem to have a decline in his plans.
