EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old Granlund reached the 20-assist mark with Tuesday's performance, and he's added five goals, 36 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 22 games.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Granlund is an attractive target for fantasy managers based on his propensity to pile up big games. Case in point: the Finn already has five multi-point efforts this season, and deft playmaking skills create a high floor for the punchy pivot as he leads the team with 15 apples. Of course, this is nothing new; Granlund has been turning heads in the NHL since the Wild originally drafted him ninth overall in 2010.

The 29-year-old Granlund now has a team-leading 15 points in 14 games this season, including 13 assists. He had 14 helpers in 51 games in 2020-21.

The 29-year-old Granlund has started 2021-22 in good form with two goals, eight helpers, 16 shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund has started the season well with four points (two on the power play) through three games. The Finn set up Matt Duchene's goal in Tuesday's contest. Granlund will need to create a bit more by himself -- he has just three shots on goal so far -- but his playmaking is already looking much sharper than it has for the last few years.
