Granlund (lower body) is ruled out of Monday's game against the Rangers, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund's injury was revealed when he sat out of Saturday's game against Dallas, and since he can't play Monday, it's unlikely he'll be ready for Tuesday's game against the Islanders, either. The 27-year-old forward has produced 12 points through 28 games, and his absence allows Yakov Trenin to enter the lineup again.

Granlund won't play Saturday against Dallas due to a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
With Granlund on the shelf, the recently recalled Colin Blackwell will draw into the lineup against the Stars. Granlund's considered day-to-day with his lower-body issue, so he may only be forced to miss a single contest.

Granlund (lower body) will rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Sharks, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund's return to practice Monday opened the door for his return, and that's exactly what will happen Tuesday. He has tallied just 11 points over the first 26 games this season but will aim to pick up the pace starting with a Sharks opponent allowing 3.44 goals per game.

Granlund (lower body) missed the Preds' previous two games, but was in attendance for Monday's practice session, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund hasn't been confirmed to return to action against San Jose on Tuesday, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. The Finn notched seven points in his previous nine games prior to getting hurt. Once cleared to play, the 27-year-old should get a look at a top-six role but may face challenges from Kyle Turris and Craig Smith.

Granlund (lower body) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Devils, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be a second straight absence for Granlund, as the forward remains unable to play because of a lower-body injury. The injury is not believed to be serious, so perhaps he'll be good to go Tuesday versus the Sharks. Kyle Turris will dress in Granlund's place Saturday.

Granlund has a lower-body injury and won't suit up in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how the Finn picked up the injury, but the team classified him as day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash. Expect more details from the team to emerge in the coming days regarding the injury, but in his stead, Kyle Turris will draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for much of November.

Granlund had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund picked up his fourth goal of the season to get the Predators on the board in the second period. He also helped set up Matt Duchene's goal early in the third frame. The 27-year-old got off to a slow start this season, but he's produced a goal and four assists over his last five games.

Granlund registered an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund set up Mattias Ekholm in the first period to put the Predators up 2-0. The Finnish forward has started to thaw from a cold start -- he has a goal and four assists over his last five games. Granlund still has only nine points in 22 games, but the recent returns suggest he might be about to break out. In 38 games with the Predators, the 27-year-old has shot 5.0 percent on 80 shots, compared to a career rate of 9.6 percent.

Granlund had two assists along with three shots and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund seems to be slowly coming alive offensively for the Predators. The 27-year-old has a goal and four points over his last four games, modest numbers that nonetheless represent progress after Granlund went without a point in his previous 12 games. Don't jump aboard the Granlund train just yet, but he did recently have consecutive 20-goal, 65-point seasons for the Wild.

Granlund scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund hadn't etched his name on the scoresheet for 12 games entering Tuesday. That long drought may be over, but the Finnish forward has only five points through 18 games this year. A two-time 60-point producer, Granlund has struggled to adjust to the Predators. A 7.9 shooting percentage isn't helping matters, but it's not that much lower than his career 9.7 percent rate. Fantasy owners will have to hope the 27-year-old will build upon Tuesday's success in the next few games.
