Canucks reveal Henrik Sedin played through broken finger
Winslow Townson / USA TODAY Sports
Vancouver Canucks captain Henrik Sedin missed eight games this season, but it's a wonder he didn't sit out more.
Canucks president Trevor Linden revealed in a press conference Tuesday that Sedin suffered a broken finger at some point during the campaign, but played through it.
Linden said Henrik Sedin broke his finger this season and played through it. "They suffer in silence, they're warriors." #Canucks

Linden didn't indicate when the injury occurred.
Sedin's 74 games played were the second-lowest total for him over an 82-game season. His career low came in 2013-14, when he suited up for 70 contests.
The 35-year-old still topped 50 points for 10th time in his career, totaling 55.
