Sedin wins Hart Trophy as league MVP

Hockey Betting Lines

06/23/2010 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vancouver Canucks forward Henrik Sedin took home hockey's top honor, the Hart Memorial Trophy, as the player judged to be the most valuable to his team for the 2009-10 season.

Sedin, part of a tandem with twin brother Daniel, had a career-defining season last year. The 29-year-old native of Ornskoldsvik, Sweden posted 29 goals, 83 assists and 112 points -- far and away career-bests -- in 82 regular-season games.

He followed it up with three goals and 14 points in 12 playoff contests as the Northwest Division-winning Canucks advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

"Thanks to all the fans in Vancouver, especially those who have supported us over the last 10 years or so," Sedin said when accepting the award. "Thanks to Markus Naslund, Mattias Ohlund and Sami Salo (veteran Swedish teammates) for taking care of us for the first few years. There's no real way I can thank you enough."

Sedin became just the second Swedish-raised player in league history to win the NHL's most prestigious individual award. Peter Forsberg -- also a native of Ornskoldsvik -- was the first when he won in 2003 for the Colorado Avalanche.

Alex Ovechkin, who had won the Ted Lindsay Award as the top NHL player this season as voted by the players association, won the Hart in each of the last two years.

Ovechkin, along with 2007 winner Sidney Crosby of Pittsburgh, were the other two finalists for the honor, which has been given annually since 1924.
