Granlund scored a power-play goal and added an assist at even strength in Wednesday's win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund's steady production continues, as the 25-year-old is now up to eight goals and 24 points in 32 games on the season. Granlund plays on the top line and sees first unit power-play time, making him an ideal fantasy forward. After recording a career-high 26 goals and 69 points in 2016-17, Granlund is on track to post similar totals this time around. Get him in your lineup.

Granlund had a helper in a 4-2 loss to Florida on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has cooled quite a bit after a strong November, posting just six points in the final month of 2017. He's got the talent to be better than what he's shown in December, so he might be an attractive candidate to buy low on.

Granlund secured a primary assist in Friday night's 3-2 overtime road win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund was troubled by a groin injury at the start of the season, but he's operating at close to a point-per-game pace since the calendar flipped to November. He's a recognizable name in the fantasy realm, but removed from the elite class, so consider zoning in on the Finn as a potential value pick against weaker opponents.

Granlund scored two goals and added an assist during Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
One of the goals and the assist came with the man advantage, and Granlund now has two tallies and five helpers during an active four-game point streak. The 25-year-old Finn was a little slow out of the gate and missed time with a groin injury, but this recent heater has Granlund back on track. Remember, he collected 26 goals and 69 points during last season's breakout campaign.

Granlund recorded an assist during Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old Finn has been on a hot streak of late with a goal and six points in his last seven games. Granlund is the top forward in Minnesota and will be given every chance to exceed 2016-17's 69-point effort, so play him regularly.

Granlund picked up a pair of assists in Thursday's win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has been producing steadily of late, managing a goal and seven points in his last eight contests. He's capable of being a very lethal fantasy forward, but is stuck on just one goal in 13 contests thus far. The point production has been there, however, so look for Granlund to start finding the back of the net soon. The top-line winger plays on the first power-play unit and appears to be finding his groove after missing time early in the season with a groin injury.

Granlund finally scored his first goal of the season Monday, but the Wild lost 5-3 to the Bruins on the road.
EDGE Analysis
A groin injury wiped out five games to Granlund's misfortune in October, and despite depositing a pair of apples versus the Habs last Thursday, it looks as though the versatile forward is still settling into an offensive groove. Don't forget that Granny led Minnesota with 69 points (26 goals, 43 assists) last year.

Granlund collected two assists in Thursday's win over the Habs.
EDGE Analysis
The top-line winger has now collected three assists in five outings since returning from a groin injury. Granlund exploded for a career-high 69 points last season and it might take some time before he gets back into the groove this time around. He's been credited with 13 shots on goal in his last four outings and it's only a matter of time before one finds the back of the net. Granlund is skating on the first power-play unit, and while he may not have a goal, his potential to take off at any moment makes him worth owning in most formats.

Granlund (groin) declared himself active for Tuesday's home game against the Canucks, Michael Russo of TheAthletic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Having only played in the season opener so far, look for Granlund to jump right into the top fix with power-play action should such an opportunity present itself. The Wild averaged four goals per game in his absence, albeit with just two wins over the last five.
