Henrik on his way home from New York, will likely be out until after the All-Star Break. The kids will get their chance to shine.

Ryan Miller's best game as a Canuck and Ben Hutton's first NHL goal were overshadowed, unfortunately, by the injury to Henrik. Mikhail Grabovski got five for boarding and a Game Misconduct for the hit, and will face no further discipline. That's strange to me, because the hit from behind on a defenseless player was, I thought, precisely the hit the NHL has been trying to eliminate from the game.

No further discipline expected for Isles' Grabovski for hit on H. Sedin. It was reviewed but sense is major and game misconduct sufficed
