Henrik Sedin: Back at it Thursday

Sedin (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday night against the Blue Jackets, Iain MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun reports.

Analysis:

Sedin missed the past four games due to the upper-body ailment, but it appears that he's safe to activate Thursday for an attractive match against a Columbus team that's allowing more than 30 shots per contest. Sedin has nine goals and 28 assists in 44 games this season, complemented by a plus-11 rating.
