Henrik Sedin is going to the NHL all-star game. His brother, Daniel, is staying home.

One wonders if the league flipped a coin on this one.

Here's an in-depth statistical comparison of the twins:

Career	GP	G	A	PTS	+/-	PIM	SOG	SPCT	PPG	PPA	GWG
Daniel	520	139	207	346	60	200	1091	12.7	55	75	27
Henrik	524	79	265	344	82	292	669	11.8	19	114	9

This season
Prjctd	GP	G	A	PTS	+/-	PIM	SOG	SPCT	PPG	PPA	GWG	ATOI
Daniel	82	39	39	78	20	43	234	16.7	18	18	10	18:46
Henrik	82	14	68	82	25	51	129	10.6	4	27	4	18:59

One takes a lot of shots, and scores goals, and the other's a playmaker, just as they've always been. Here's a closer look at their statistics from Behind The Net:

Less than 30 seconds a game each


I think it was a coin flip.

All kidding aside, these are really strong numbers overall. The only caveat is that players like Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows are picking up the really difficult minutes, with the Sedins and Markus Naslund getting relatively easy defensive assignments and no penalty killing time.
