Granlund potted his first goal of the season and added a helper in Saturday's win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

It's surprising it's only the first goal of the season for Granlund, who's been skating on the top line with Mikko Koivu. The 24-year-old is coming off a 44-point season and appears destined to take a step forward this year. He's got four points in his last four games on a hot Minnesota team, so look for him to build off Saturday's performance, especially given his top-line role and use on the power play.
