Grabner scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in the 5-4 victory over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He assisted Oscar Lindberg's goal in the first and found the net in the second, but his second goal with 17 seconds left in regulation handed the Rangers the victory. Grabner is vastly outplaying his preseason ADP, as he already has 18 goals and 26 points in 41 games. Last season, he scored nine goals and 18 points in 80 games. He has a chance to set new career-highs in both the goals and points categories.

Grabner scored two goals, added an assist and posted a plus-4 rating during Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The offensive outburst was Grabner's first multi-point showing since Nov. 21, and through the 19 games between Wednesday's breakout, he had just two goals and four points. With the Rangers dealing with a number of injuries up front, Grabner could see a fleeting uptick in fantasy value because of an extended role, but he shouldn't be confused with a reliable fantasy asset in the majority of settings. Still, his salary and assignment are definitely worth keeping tabs on in daily contests.

Grabner (personal) will return to the Rangers' lineup for Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg, CBS New York's Sean Hartnett reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grabner has been a pleasant surprise for the Rangers and fantasy owners alike in 2016-17. The veteran winger leads his team with a whopping 13 goals in 26 games this season after having tallied just nine goals in 80 games with Toronto last campaign. If Jimmy Vesey (upper body) is unable to play Thursday, Grabner will likely get an opportunity to slot into a top-six role against the Jets.

Grabner will be out of the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders to attend a family funeral in Austria, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is unclear how long Grabner will be out of the lineup, but he could return in time for either Thursday's matchup with the Jets or Friday versus Chicago. With 19 points in 26 outings this season, the Rangers offense will certainly take a hit due to the winger's absence.

Grabner (illness) took the ice for pregame warmups and will start Tuesday against the Hurricanes, Steve Zipay of Newsday Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grabner's status was uncertain after he was reportedly feeling under the weather Tuesday morning but it appears the right winger is a go for the home matchup as he's slated on a line with J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast. After notching only 18 points in 80 games for the Leafs in 2015-16, the former first-round pick is firing on all cylinders during the current campaign, tallying 12 goals and four assists along with a career-best 22.2 shot percentage. He'll look to continue to produce for fantasy owners as he faces a Hurricanes' defense that ranks 18th in goals allowed per game (2.62).

Grabner may not be available for Tuesday's matchup with Carolina due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Grabner currently leads the Rangers with 12 goals in 23 games, so it'd be a big loss for the Rangers and fantasy owners alike if he's unable to go against the Hurricanes. The 29-year-old winger's availability should be confirmed prior to puck drop Tuesday evening.

Grabner scored his 12th goal, added an empty-net assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
He improved his NHL-leading rating to plus-19 with yet another sharp effort, and Grabner's 16 points in 20 games register as a shock to the system when you look at his production in recent years. This is a guy who totaled a pitiful 18 points in 80 games for the Leafs last season, after all. But he's been reinvented on Broadway, and even if Grabner's current level of production isn't sustainable, he's making it clear that this is no flash in the pan.

Grabner lit the lamp during Friday's 4-2 loss to Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
While he's in just his eighth campaign, Grabner is truly turning back the clock. The winger registered 34 goals with the Islanders in 2010-11, but hasn't come close to equaling that mark since that magical year. Through 18 contests, the 29-year-old is already up to 11 goals and remains one of the league's highest scorers to date. The 2006 No. 14 pick hasn't been synonymous with offense in a few years, but he may have found a new home in his first campaign with the Rangers.

Grabner netted a pair of goals in Sunday's win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
That's 10 goals on the season for Grabner, who has been one of the biggest surprises thus far. The speedy winger has 13 points in 16 games and is sporting a fantastic plus-15 rating. Grabner hadn't been skating in a top-six role, but he replaced the injured Chris Kreider on the top line Sunday and didn't miss a beat. With the way the Rangers are rolling, make sure Grabner, who also found twine Saturday against the Flames, is inserted into your lineup.

While facing the Bruins on Saturday, Grabner forced a turnover and stormed toward the net for his seventh goal of the season. He also contributed a shorthanded assist in the 5-2 road win.
EDGE Analysis
Through 12 games, Grabner leads the Rangers in goals and is tied with three others for the best rating at plus-11. His blazing speed and supreme line defense has been on full display this campaign, and he's on pace to obliterate the 18-point mark that he set with the Maple Leafs in 80 games last season. Pat yourself on the back if you had the foresight to draft him late ahead of the 2016-17 season.
