Henrik is a different player than his brother, preferred in some situations, weaker in others.
Henrik is a big, defensively responsible and reliable center...but he still has some phenomenal puck and passing skills.
Henrik doesn't have the same flash that Daniel has, nor does he have as good a shot, but he makes up for it by being stronger on the puck and much more physical.
HenrikSedin did all the work and Daniel Sedin was there for the rebound, scoring 31 seconds into overtime to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
Henrik, who had two assists, skated behind Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire and tried a wraparound early in the overtime.
Henrik also assisted when Daniel scored the tying goal with just 2:11 left to erase a two-goal deficit.
Sedin had two goals and five assists in three games.
He had one goal and three assists in Jan. 31's 7-4 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes, had one goal and one assist in Friday's 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames and had one assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
Sedin beat out his twin brother and Canucks teammate Daniel for the honor.

While it would be a Yao Ming stretch to say the extra possessions off the draw are the reason Vancouver is on pace for a stellar 104-point season, they certainly don't hurt any.
When Henrik first came into the league in the 2000-01 season, Vancouver was struggling to win draws and he turned in a lowly 44.1 face-off percentage.
At least according to Henrik, who begrudgingly admits his countryman is the best face-off man on the team.
