Granlund (lower body) hasn't resumed skating yet, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
Granlund will miss his fifth straight game against Vegas on Saturday, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has already missed 12 of the last 13 contests, and the Ducks probably won't rush him back into the lineup. Granlund has recorded three goals, six assists and 21 shots on net over nine appearances this season.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Sitting out again
Rotowire
Granlund (lower body) will not play Thursday versus the Senators, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Granlund is set to miss his fourth straight game and his 12th in the Ducks' last 13 contests. The 33-year-old center aggravated his injury last Thursday versus the Red Wings, which is the reason for his ongoing absence. He's questionable to play Saturday versus the Golden Knights.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Granlund (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Granlund remains day-to-day due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be unavailable for the 11th time in Anaheim's last 12 matchups. Wednesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, and it's not yet clear whether Granlund will be able to return in time for Thursday's game against Ottawa.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Still sidelined Monday
Rotowire
Granlund aggravated his lower-body injury and won't be available against Utah on Monday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Granlund is still considered day-to-day, but this will be his 10th missed game in the Ducks' last 11 contests. When healthy, Granlund has offered decent offensive upside, generating nine points in nine outings, including a pair of power-play points. Once given the all-clear, Granlund should slot into a middle-six role, perhaps shifting to the wing on the third line with Ryan Strome.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Scores in return
Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Granlund missed the previous eight games due to a lower-body injury. Outside of his five-point effort versus the Bruins on Oct. 23, Granlund has had a fairly pedestrian season in a middle-six role. That big outing has him at three goals, six helpers, 21 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over nine appearances, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Granlund to sustain a point-per-game pace in the long run.

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.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Headed to Orange County
Rotowire
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.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Snags power-play assist
Rotowire
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.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Earns two points in win
Rotowire
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.

Granlund had his second multi-point effort in a row, scoring once in each period to lead the Stars' offense in Game 4.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Dishes two apples Sunday
Rotowire
Granlund generated two even-strength assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Granlund provided assists on goals by Thomas Harley and Mikko Rantanen in the first and third periods, respectively. The 33-year-old Granlund had just one goal and one assist over nine playoff outings coming into Game 3, but his multi-point performance Sunday helped Dallas gain a 2-1 series lead. Granlund has yet to put more than two shots on goal in a game in the 2025 playoffs, so his production will most likely continue to be tied to his playmaking abilities.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche in Game 6.
Granlund ended a nine-game goal drought with his second-period tally. The 33-year-old forward has looked better on a line with Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen, but Granlund's still been quiet on offense this postseason. He's earned two points, six shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over six playoff contests.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Nabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Granlund logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Granlund helped out on a Jamie Benn goal in the third period, which tied the game at 1-1. This resulted from a lineup shuffle that saw Granlund get bumped up to the first line after the Stars' offense largely sputtered for the first two contests of the series. The Finn has one helper, two shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff games after posting 22 goals and 66 points across 83 regular-season outings between the Stars and Sharks.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Three-point effort in overtime loss
Rotowire
Granlund scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two power-play assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Scoring an empty-netter in a loss is a rarity, and even more so when considering the Canucks forced overtime with three goals in the final minute. That doesn't detract from Granlund's strong individual performance Tuesday, which gives him six goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. The 33-year-old Finn is up to 22 goals, 44 assists, 167 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-4 rating over 79 appearances between the Stars and Sharks. Granlund is just three points shy of matching his career-high 69 from the 2016-17 campaign with the Wild.

Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Granlund extended his point streak to four games (three goals, two assists) when he tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period. That set the stage for the Stars' comeback win.

This is the fifth time he's exceeded the 60-point mark in his career.
