As early as 1999, he and his twin brother Daniel were honored as the best Swedish player of the year with the guldpuck . In the same year he chose the National Hockey League - the organization of the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL Entry Draft in 1999 out in the first round in third place.

In the summer of 2000, Sedin moved to North America together with his twin brother and both were able to establish themselves directly in the Canucks' NHL squad. In October 2000 he made his debut in the top division of North America in the 3-6 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and scored his first NHL goal that same month against the Toronto Maple Leafs . In total, the Swede played all 82 games of the season for the Canucks and recorded a total of 29 scorer points at the end of the season, with a large part of the games on the side of his brother in the third attack formation on the ice. In his second season Sedin was able to increase his offensive performance and recorded 16 hits and 20 assists, where he succeeded against the Detroit Red Wings the first play-off goal of his NHL career. In July 2003 Sedin extended his contract for another year and was able to achieve a total of 42 scorer points from 76 games in the subsequent 2003/04 season .

In the failed lockout - 2004/05 the Sedin brothers played together with Markus Naslund and Peter Forsberg in her Swedish hometown club MODO. In the 2005/06 season , the Sedins acted in a storm row with Anson Carter , with Henrik Sedin with 75 points scorer the second best offensive player behind Näslund. Later Canucks head coach Marc Crawford described the season as a breakthrough for the Sedins, both athletically and within the team. As a result, both players' contracts were extended by three years during the 2006 summer break. In the 2006/07 season Sedin formed together with his brother and Taylor Pyatt for the first time the nominal top row of the Canucks and recorded a total of 71 assists, which had never before been achieved by any player in the Canucks jersey within a season. The following year he took part for the first time in the NHL All-Star Game and after the end of the season received the Cyrus H. McLean Trophy as the Canucks player with the highest points during the main round.

In November 2009 he scored the first hat-trick of his previous NHL career in an 8-2 win against the Colorado Avalanche and impressed with constant offensive performance as the season progressed, making him the first Vancouver Canucks player to play the Art Ross with 112 points at the end of the season Won trophy as the strongest offensive player in the NHL. He also overtook Trevor Linden as the best goal preparer in club history and Pavel Bure for the most points scorer within a season. In the play-offs, the attacker built on his performances from the main round and marked 14 scorer points in 12 games, but could not prevent his team from being eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals against the Chicago Blackhawks . Furthermore, the Swede was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the league after the season and also received the Viking Award for the best Swedish ice hockey professional in North America.
