Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Set to miss at least 2-3 weeks
Rotowire
Granlund (lower body) will be out for at least a few weeks, according to NHL.com.
Granlund could be unavailable for around two or three weeks after getting injured in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. He has generated two goals, six assists and 19 shots on net across eight outings this season. Due to Granlund's absence, Jansen Harkins will make his season debut against Florida on Tuesday after recovering from an upper-body injury.

Rotowire
Granlund won't return to Saturday's clash against Tampa Bay because of a lower-body injury.
Granlund had three shots on 6:07 of ice time before exiting the game. He was fantastic Thursday, recording two goals and three assists in a 7-5 win over Boston, which brought him up to two goals and eight points through seven appearances going into Saturday's action. If Granlund can't play Tuesday in Florida, then Jansen Harkins might draw into the lineup.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Erupts for career-high five points
Rotowire
Granlund scored two goals, one on the power play, and added three assists in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Bruins.
The veteran center added five shots on net, a blocked shot and a plus-4 rating to his ledger. The five points were a career high for Granlund, who came into the contest having been held off the scoresheet in his prior three games. The 33-year-old has topped 60 points in three of the last four regular seasons while bouncing between Nashville, Pittsburgh, San Jose and Dallas. He's well on his way to reaching that mark again in his first campaign with Anaheim, collecting two goals and eight points through seven games.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: First two helpers with new team
Rotowire
Granlund provided two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Sharks.
Granlund has seen strong ice time through two games, as the Ducks have leaned heavily on three lines to keep all of the team's key players involved. The 33-year-old doesn't have a shot on goal yet, and he's added just one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Granlund has topped 60 points in three of the last four years, but it's unclear if he'll be able to sustain that level of offense in his first season with the Ducks, who are looking to shed the low-scoring label as a team.
Granlund signed a three-year, $21 million contract with Anaheim on Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Granlund compiled 22 goals, 66 points and 169 shots on net across 83 regular-season games between Dallas and San Jose in 2024-25. He was a productive player during his time with the Sharks, despite the team's scoring struggles, and should make an impact with the Ducks if he's a prominent piece in the lineup.
Granlund recorded a power-play assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
Granlund has earned three points over four games in this series, with all of his production coming on the power play. The 33-year-old is at 10 points, 29 shots on net, 37 hits, 16 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 17 playoff outings. He was shuffled into a middle-six role Tuesday, but Granlund still plays an important two-way game as one of the Stars' most versatile forwards.
Granlund scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, logged six hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Granlund and Miro Heiskanen set up each other's power-play goals early in the third period to erase a 3-1 Oilers lead. This was Granlund's third multi-point effort over the last five contests. The 33-year-old forward is up to five goals, nine points (five on the power play), 24 shots on net, 29 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 14 playoff outings. He's seeing top-six minutes and time on the second power-play unit, so Granlund should be a decent source of depth scoring.
Stars' Mikael Granlund: Nets hat trick in Game 4 win
Rotowire
Granlund scored three times, including twice on the power play, and added six hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.
Granlund had his second multi-point effort in a row, scoring once in each period to lead the Stars' offense in Game 4. The 33-year-old has been on the top line lately, and he's earned five of his seven points this postseason over the last two contests. He's added 15 shots on net, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 11 playoff outings.
