Granlund notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has two helpers over three outings since he was traded to the Stars from the Sharks. The 32-year-old set up a Matt Duchene tally in the third period. Those two forwards look to be building some chemistry on the second line -- they played together back in Nashville as recently as the 2022-23 campaign. For the season, Granlund has earned 47 points, 130 shots on net, 42 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across 55 appearances.

Granlund logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund was traded from the Sharks on Saturday, and it didn't take him long to get on the scoresheet for his new team. He set up Logan Stankoven's second-period tally. The 32-year-old Granlund saw massive minutes in San Jose this season, so his ice time is virtually guaranteed to be much lower in Dallas given the depth and balance of the team's forward group. Granlund centered Jamie Benn and Evgenii Dadonov on the third line Sunday but had 16:40 of ice time, third-most among Stars forwards. Granlund is at 46 points, 128 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 53 appearances this season. His versatility will allow him to maintain some interest in fantasy, and if the Stars shuffle their lineup, he stands to have a chance at top-six minutes either at center or on the wing.

Dallas acquired Granlund and Cody Ceci from San Jose on Saturday in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick and a conditional 2025 third-round selection.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has accounted for 15 goals, 45 points, 126 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 37 hits through 52 appearances this season. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer. Granlund is a versatile forward who will add some additional scoring punch to Dallas' middle-six group, and he should see power-play time.

For the season, the 32-year-old is up to 15 tallies, 30 helpers, 126 shots on net, 37 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 52 appearances in a top-six role.

Granlund didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an illness, and his status for Thursday's road game against the Kraken is uncertain, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund will travel with the Sharks ahead of Thursday's game in Seattle, but it's unclear whether his illness will prevent him from suiting up. If Granlund is held out against the Kraken, Carl Grundstrom is a candidate to re-enter the lineup.
