Canucks' 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.

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.
