Dallas Stars right wing Mikael Granlund found the back of the net twice during their overtime victory against the Anaheim Ducks. Granlund would score his first goal of the evening in the second frame during 5-on-5 play. Later in overtime, Granlund would seal the victory with his second goal of the evening, this time on a backhand shot. This was his first two-point outing in eight games. Over his previous nine contests, Granlund has scored three goals and added two helpers. In 68 contests this season, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net 18 times and added 38 helpers. He has logged 2.2 shots on goal per game with 48 hits and 52 blocks. Granlund will look to stay hot on the scoresheet during their next contest on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Mikael Granlund Pots Overtime Winner Against Sweden
Dallas Stars forward Mikael Granlund netted the decisive goal as Finland beat Sweden 4-3 in Saturday's 4 Nations Face-Off clash. Following a goalless third period, less than two minutes had been played in the extra frame when Granlund found the back of the net in a three-on-one situation. Florida Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola picked up the only assist on the play. Granlund has been in excellent form this season in the NHL, posting 49 points (15 goals, 34 assists) in 56 appearances, and he hasn't let down his country either. The versatile forward has amassed one goal and one assist through Finland's first two games at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
The Dallas Stars have acquired forward Mikael Granlund in a trade with the San Jose Sharks. Defenseman Cody Ceci will also move to Texas, while the Stars gave up a 2025 first-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick in the transaction. The fourth-round selection will become a third-round choice if Dallas makes it to the Stanley Cup Finals. Both players are pending unrestricted free agents. Granlund and Ceci will help cover for injured players. The Stars offense is without Tyler Seguin (hip) and Mason Marchment (face), while the backline is missing Miro Heiskanen (knee) and Nils Lundkvist (shoulder), who has just had season-ending surgery. Granlund led the Sharks with 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) in 52 games and looks like a good fit for Dallas. His productivity might improve with more talent around him.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (illness) will stay in the lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. He was initially questionable for the game after sitting out Wednesday's practice due to an illness. San Jose's leading scorer will skate alongside Fabian Zetterlund and Will Smith on the top line and has a spot reserved on the first power-play unit. Granlund has recorded 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) with the man advantage and 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists) overall in 51 games played. The Finnish forward has been on a scoring surge lately, tallying three goals and four assists over a five-game stretch.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (lower body) will be in the lineup on Monday versus Boston. It was unclear if Granlund would be available for the contest after he sat out Sunday's practice with a lower-body injury. His availability is massive for the Sharks, as Granlund has been their leading man in 2024-25. He tops the team in scoring and assists, having notched 37 points and 25 helpers in 46 games. Granlund is expected to skate with Fabian Zetterlund and Boston College product Will Smith. Recent times have been tricky for Granlund, as he has finished pointless in seven of his past 10 outings.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Friday's tilt against Seattle. After missing two games with an upper-body injury, Granlund returned to practice on Thursday. It's a positive sign regarding his potential availability, but the team hasn't made his return official yet. The Sharks have scored 10 goals in two games without Granlund, but they would definitely love to have him back in the mix. The Finnish veteran is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance with the team and leads San Jose with 24 points (nine goals, 15 assists) in 23 outings this campaign.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday versus Ottawa. San Jose's leading scorer missed his first game of the season Monday night against Los Angeles and continues to rehab an upper-body injury. With Granlund on the shelf, Macklin Celebrini produced his first career three-point outing against the Kings and will be relied upon heavily again Wednesday night. He's joined on the first line by William Eklund and Fabian Zetterlund, with Alex Wennberg centering the second line, flanked by Luke Kunin and Tyler Toffoli.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will be in the lineup on Thursday versus St. Louis. He missed the ending of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Dallas with an upper-body injury, but fortunately for the Sharks, Granlund will be good to go Thursday night. Following a two-point effort versus the Stars, Granlund has tallied eight points (three goals, five assists) across his last seven appearances. He's offered solid production for fantasy managers throughout the campaign, posting nine goals and 22 points in 21 games. Granlund has recently been skating on the second line after serving as the first-line center during Macklin Celebrini's absence.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) was injured late in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Dallas. He exited after taking a big hit from Stars defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin. Granlund tallied a short-handed goal and an assist before leaving. The Finnish veteran tops San Jose's scoring charts with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) in 21 games. Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky didn't have an update on Granlund after Wednesday's contest, leaving him questionable for Thursday's meeting with St. Louis. If Granlund is out, Alex Wennberg will likely move to the top six, boosting his fantasy value. However, Wennberg has badly struggled in 2024-25, picking up nine points (three goals, six assists) in 21 games and going scoreless in 15 outings.
Mikael Granlund Leads The Charge In First Sharks Win
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund produced three points as the team finally earned its first win of the season on Monday, beating Utah 5-4 in overtime. Granlund, who is working as the first-line center during Macklin Celebrini's (hip) absence, finished with one goal and two assists. All of his points came after the Sharks had fallen 4-1 behind ahead of the third period. San Jose appears to be heading toward another miserable campaign, but Granlund has still found a lot of success on a struggling team. He has scored in four consecutive games and sits on a six-game point streak. The 32-year-old boasts five goals and eight assists for the season with 10 games played.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (lower body) rejoined his teammates in practice on Sunday. He skipped Friday's session with a lower-body injury, and the Sharks were off on Saturday. Granlund worked on a line with Will Smith and Fabian Zetterlund. The Finnish forward led a struggling Sharks team in assists (48) and points (60) last season despite missing 13 games. Another prolific campaign will be expected from Granlund during his contract year. The 32-year-old will complete a four-year, $20 million deal he signed with the Nashville Predators in 2021.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund is dealing with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. Granlund had a solid bounce-back campaign in 2023-24 with 12 goals and 60 points across 69 outings. He is seen as a potential first-liner for the start of the season. There are currently no concerns that Granlund might not be ready for opening night. The new-look Sharks face the St. Louis Blues in their season opener on Oct. 10.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund suffered a right leg/foot injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The veteran forward got tied up with Penguins forward Bryan Rust and was unable to put weight on his right foot while being helped off the ice by teammates late in the third period. He skated 21:41 in the contest and recorded a pair of assists, two shots on goal, and was a plus-two despite the loss. It's been a nice season for the 32-year-old who has tallied nine goals and 42 points in 52 games, a solid total considering the Sharks sit 31st with just 2.20 goals per game. Grandlund has reportedly dodged a serious injury but it's worth monitoring for fantasy managers.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund will be out week-to-week with a shoulder injury. He got hurt on Tuesday against Chicago and faces another multi-game absence after having already sat out seven contests this season. Granlund leads the Sharks with 24 assists and has tallied 29 total points in 38 appearances. San Jose will need to tweak its first power-play unit without him, while a spot in the top six has also opened up.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game against Chicago. He logged 16:43 of ice time in the contest, finishing with one shot, one block, and one hit. It was a quiet night for Granlund, but he's been one of the best players on the worst team in the league. Through 38 outings, Granlund has had five goals and a team-high 24 assists. With San Jose off until Saturday, Granlund gets some good recovery time, although the severity of his injury is unclear, and he might still be forced to miss some action.
San Jose Sharks center Mikael Granlund finished with a goal and two assists in Friday's 6-3 victory against the Devils. Granlund's three-point performance was his first of the season, while he has collected six points over the previous four games. Granlund's fantasy value is limited to deeper formats as the center has season totals of two goals and 10 points through 17 games.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (lower body) has joined the team for its current five-game road trip. He was injured in San Jose's season opener on Oct. 12, and Sharks head coach David Quinn labeled Granlund as week-to-week. It's still unclear when the Finnish forward will be able to return to action, but the fact that he is among the traveling party is a good sign. With center Logan Couture (lower body) also on the shelf, things have obviously been very difficult for the Sharks. Quinn's team is winless through the first five games, with only one point on the board and seven goals scored.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve Friday. He reaggravated a lower-body injury in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Vegas. The 31-year-old will now be forced to miss at least three games, starting with Saturday's matchup against the Avalanche. This is a big setback personally for Granlund, who's hoping to reignite his career in San Jose, and it's also bad news for the team, as the Sharks have opened the campaign without Logan Couture (lower body), and the center position is now already down to bare bones with only one game played.
San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (shoulder) took a step forward by skating for half an hour Thursday, as per head coach David Quinn. The veteran has been limited in camp due to his shoulder ailment but was able to get a mild skate in Thursday with his club's Oct. 12 season opener versus the Vegas Golden Knights still more than two weeks away. The 31-year-old was part of the return from the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Erik Karlsson trade this offseason after posting just one goal and five points across 21 games with Pittsburgh following a trade-deadline deal from the Nashville Predators last season. The 11-year NHL veteran has posted 145 goals and 484 points across 750 career regular-season contests.
The San Jose Sharks have acquired forward Mikael Granlund in a three-team trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens. Granlund spent only half a season in Pittsburgh after getting picked up from Nashville for a second-round draft pick. He scored once in 21 games and had five points in total, so his spell in the Steel City was a forgettable one. Granlund will hope to bounce back in San Jose, where he should have a bigger role to play. The Finnish forward is only a season removed from a 64-point campaign, and he has been a fairly productive player throughout his NHL career, registering 145 goals and 484 points in 750 regular-season appearances. The Sharks also added another forward Mike Hoffman with the trade, as well as defenseman Jan Rutta, along with a 2024 first-round draft pick from the Penguins.
