Granlund (groin) was a full participant in practice Monday, TheAthletic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Granlund could return as early as Tuesday against Vancouver. He's missed five games with the injury.

Granlund (groin) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund will miss a fifth consecutive contest Saturday, but he was considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with Winnipeg, indicating he's likely closing in on a return to game action. The Wild should release another update on the 25-year-old forward's status ahead of Tuesday's game against Vancouver.

Granlund (groin) was not among the lines during pregame rushes for Friday's contest against the Jets, indicating that he won't play in the tilt, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund was considered a game-time call for Friday's game, but his absence results in Chris Stewart bumping up to the top line alongside Jason Zucker and Miko Koivu and Landon Ferraro slotting into the top six. He doesn't have to wait long for a chance to return with the team back in action Saturday against the Flames.

Granlund (groin) will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with Winnipeg, Anthony LaPanta of Fox Sports North reports.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund has been sidelined since Opening Night , missing each of the Wild's last three outings. If given the all-clear, the winger figures to join Jason Zucker and Mikko Koivu on the top line based on practice lines Thursday. Landon Ferraro -- who was called up from AHL Iowa -- would likely suit up in the event Granlund can't give it a go.

Granlund's (groin) rehab has been progressing well, and he could be available Friday against Winnipeg the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even though head coach Bruce Boudreau said he would be held out until Oct. 24 at the earliest, Grandlund reportedly looked very sharp during Monday's practice and there's a strong chance he plays either against Winnipeg on Friday, or Calgary on Sunday. The 25-year-old hasn't played since opening night and after bursting onto the scene last season with 69 points in 81 games, look for him to slot back into a top-six role when he returns.

Granlund (groin) skated Saturday morning, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund was expected to miss four games when he was hurt, but it sounds like he's making progress and could return sooner. Still, it's early in his recovery.

Per head coach Bruce Boudreau, Grandlund will probably miss the Wild's next four games due to a groin injury, the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the initial diagnosis on Grandlund's injury indicated that it was not likely to be serious, this new timetable would keep the Finnish pivot sidelined for the next two weeks. Minnesota has an extended break between Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets and their next contest the following Friday in Winnipeg, so there's still a chance that Granlund could be back earlier, but don't count on it.

Wild coach Bruce Boudreau believes Granlund's undisclosed injury is "short term."

EDGE Analysis

The punchy top-six forward missed Saturday's road contest due to the ailment, but the bench boss provided an update on Granlund, adding, "Granny went to see the doctor. I really think it's short term." This is obviously encouraging news for the Finn's fantasy owners, as it seems like more of a day-to-day concern rather than the threat of a long-term absence.

Grandlund apparently played through an (undisclosed injury) in Thursday's season road opener against the Red Wings, and he's "probably out" for Saturday's road match with the Hurricanes, Michael Russo of TheAthletic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a major blow for the Wild -- who lost that 4-2 in that first game -- as Grandlund is a terrific playmaker who's coming off a 2016-17 campaign of posting 26 goals, 43 assists and a plus-23 rating between 81 games. The short-term plan for Minnesota is to deploy Gustav Olofsson, an extra defenseman, up front.

Granlund (ankle) is listed on the preliminary roster for Saturday's exhibition home game against the Avalanche, the Star-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The potent power-play pivot sustained his injury during training in mid-August, after he'd already been recovering from a broken hand. Now that he appears to be healthy, Granlund, who's fresh off a campaign in which he recorded 69 points (26 goals, 43 assists) in 81 games, reportedly will reunite with Jason Zucker and Mikko Koivu in the upcoming preseason tilt.
