Canucks Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:39:53 PST)

While there was some uncertainty about whether Daniel Sedin would return to the Canucks' lineup Friday against Colorado or Sunday against Chicago, there is absolutely no doubt where he will play when he does make it back from a broken left foot: on the top line, alongside identical twin brother Henrik.

The Sedins have been playing together for most of their lives, including nine mostly healthy seasons in the NHL, and there's no question in coach Alain Vigneault's mind that they're better in combination.
