[edit] Playing career
- Vancouver's 2nd choice, 3rd overall, in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
Henrik and his brother Daniel spent the 2005-06 season on a line with Anson Carter, sometimes known colloquially as the 'Brothers Line'. With the loss of Anson Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets by way of free agency, Henrik began the 2006-2007 season on a line with his brother Daniel and Markus Näslund, dubbed "The Ikea Line" since all three players are from Sweden. This line has seen the substitution of Naslund with Taylor Pyatt, but to due scoring woes, the original "Ikea Line" was re-established. The Sedins also have 2 older brothers.
