Granlund is unavailable due to the league's COVID-19 protocols.

EDGE Analysis

Coach John Hynes said Sunday that Granlund was expected to miss the beginning of the season due to quarantine, so this news isn't quite surprising. The Finn was listed as a non-roster player for Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, so this news clarified his absence. Expect Granlund to return to his usual top-six role once he's officially cleared.
