Sedin twins, Luongo, Alfredsson among hockey HOF inductees

TORONTO -- Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Canucks teammate Roberto Luongo, former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson, Finnish women's national team player Riikka Sallinen and Herb Carnegie were welcomed into the Hockey Hall of Fame as the class of 2022 on Monday.

The Sedin twins and Luongo were elected in their first years of eligibility back in June, while Alfredsson had waited since 2017. The induction of the Sedins and Alfredsson increased the number of Swedish players in the hall from four to seven.

Selected No. 3 overall at the 1999 NHL draft - one spot behind Daniel - Henrik Sedin owns a big chunk of Vancouver's record book as its leader in assists (830), points (1,070) and games played (1,330) in his 17 seasons.
