Grant (upper body) will not suit up in Sunday's home contest against Colorado, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Grant picked up the injury, but it's severe enough to force him to miss time. The 28-year-old hasn't been a great fantasy asset, however, scoring just 10 points in 42 games this campaign. Recent call-up Kevin Roy will slot into the lineup in Grant's absence.

Grant netted his fourth goal of the season in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Grant has picked up the pace with a goal and two assists in his last five games. He still has only nine points in 38 games between the Penguins and Ducks this season. Grant added four blocked shots to bring his total to 19 in that category this year. It's safe to avoid the 28-year-old in most formats.

Grant notched an assist and recorded a plus-1 rating over 15:18 of ice time Wednesday versus the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Grant saw his most action since Jan. 20 versus the Islanders and took advantage of the added ice time, adding a shot on goal, two hits and a blocked shot to his ledger. The 28-year-old pivot owns just two points in his nine games with the Ducks and hadn't tallied one since Jan. 19 versus the Devils. While he was hardly a staple in fantasy lineups during his time with the Penguins, Grant's value could be even less on an Anaheim squad that struggles to find the back of the net.

Grant is back with the Ducks after being acquired in a trade with the Penguins for Joseph Blandisi.
EDGE Analysis
After logging 66 games for the Ducks in which he racked up 12 goals and a dozen assists, all of which were career highs, Grant moved on during the offseason and signed with Pittsburgh. With a banged up forward corps that is without Ryan Kesler (lower body), Corey Perry (knee) or Jakob Silfverberg (lower body), the Ducks were lacking in guys with NHL experience, something Grant offers them. How the 28-year-old fits into the lineup once Anaheim gets healthy remains to be seen, but he should get plenty of opportunities out the gate and may even suit up versus Minnesota on Thursday.

Grant has been relegated to the press box for the past three games following Dominik Simon's return to the lineup.
EDGE Analysis
In order to earn his way back into the lineup, Grant will likely have to outwork Zach Aston-Reese during practice, as there aren't too many other guys he could bump from the lineup. More likely, the 28-year-old Grant will be kept waiting in the wings for another injury to pop up before he gets a look on game-day.

Grant is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Winnipeg, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant missed two games with an undisclosed injury but will return to face the Jets. The 28-year-old has an assist in 10 games this season and figures to center Pittsburgh's fourth line.

Grant (undisclosed) didn't take warmups for Saturday's home game against the Blue Jackets, so it appears he'll sit out for the second consecutive day, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Patric Hornqvist (concussion) and Grant will both miss the upcoming contest, the Penguins have little choice but to rely on an organizational depth option, Garrett Wilson, who was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton earlier in the day.

Grant (undisclosed) is absent from warmups and won't play Friday's game versus the Bruins, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant missed out on the morning skate and was deemed a game-time call. The 28-year-old notched his first point, an assist, of the season Wednesday against the Stars. His absence in the lineup will allow Daniel Sprong to re-enter the fold.

Grant will be a game-time decision for Friday's clash with Boston due to an undisclosed injury, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant was absent from Thursday's practice session and also missed the game-day skate Friday. If the 28-year-old is unable to suit up versus the Bruins, Daniel Sprong figures to slot into the lineup.

Grant tallied an assist against Dallas on Wednesday, his first point of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Grant has been forced to split time between the NHL and AHL, which has limited him to just 10 appearances this season. Even when he is in the lineup, the center is logging just 10:06 of ice time per game. The British Columbia native should see more opportunities with Matt Cullen (lower body) sidelined, but will still only offer low-end fantasy value given his lack of minutes.
