Shea Theodore scores in shootout, Vegas holds on to beat Vancouver 5-4
VANCOUVER — In his third last game wearing a Vancouver Canucks uniform Henrik Sedin had a chance to do something he’d never done in his 17-year NHL career.
The Canuck captain, who plans to retire at the end of the regular season along with his twin brother Daniel, was sent over the boards during Tuesday’s shootout against the Vegas Golden Knights. Given the opportunity to win the game, and add another chapter to his storybook career, he missed.
“It didn’t really matter,” said Sedin, who is now 0-6 on shootout attempts. “It was nice to get out there to get the ovation from the fans.”
Many in the announced crowd of 18,865 at Rogers Arena probably won’t remember defenceman Shea Theodore scored right after Henrik’s attempt to give the Golden Knights a 5-4 win.
