There it is.

Vancouver Canucks forward Henrik Sedin corralled a pass from brother Daniel and beat Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo early into the second period Friday night to collect point No. 1,000 in his career.

With the milestone, Henrik becomes the first Canuck to reach the 1,000 point plateau and just the fourth player of Swedish decent to do so.

Of course, the goal could also be extra special for the 36-year-old who had the pleasure of hitting the mark against his former teammate. It was certainly admired by the Panthers netminder who immediately gave Sedin a celebratory fist pump.

For what it's worth, Cancuks fans won't have to wait too much longer for another player to hit the milestone as Daniel is now just 32 points away from hitting the 1,000 point mark himself.
