Henrik Sedin is an inch taller and one pound heavier than his twin brother, Daniel. It’s a difference that will be barely noticeable when they take the ice for the Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference semifinals. What the Chicago Blackhawks see are two potent scorers and passers, the catalysts of a high-scoring top line they must control in this playoff rematch from a year ago. The Sedins have a feel for the game and for each other that comes naturally. Now they’ll try and help the Canucks reverse that tough, six-game loss last year when the teams—bitter rivals—open the series Saturday night at the United Center. Henrik said he and his brother, who are 29, begin playing when there were about 5 in their native Sweden. They were on different lines for five or six years and then were put together at age 13. They joined the Canucks for the 2000-01 season and signed matching five-year, $30.5 million contract extensions last summer.

The Canucks scored a Western Conference-best 272 goals. Henrik Sedin finished with 112 points, including 83 assists. Daniel matched his brother’s goal output with 29 and had 56 assists in only 63 games after missing 18 games with a broken foot. One lineup change made a major difference in the Canucks’ first-round series win over the Los Angeles Kings. Mikael Samulesson replaced Alex Burrows on the first line with the Sedins during Game 4 and ended up with 11 points in the series, including seven goals. Daniel has 10 points and Henrik finished with eight in the six games. Samuelsson, who missed practice Thursday, was back on the ice Friday and ready to go.When the Blackhawks beat the Canucks a year ago in the semifinals, Henrik finished with three goals and three assists, while Daniel had two goals and three assists.
