Vancouver Canuck veterans Daniel and Henrik Sedin are playing the final game of their 17-year careers Saturday night. The Canucks wrap-up the season in Edmonton against the Oilers. The Sedins announced their retirements earlier this week.

Henrik retires as the Canucks all-time leading scorer. In 2010 he won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player and the Art Ross Trophy as the leading point scorer.

Daniel leaves as the Canucks all-time leading goal scorer. In 2011 he won the Art Ross Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award as best player in the league chosen by fellow players.

The Sedins led the Canucks to the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, losing to the Boston Bruins.
