Granlund scored two power-play goals in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund needed just 36 seconds of power-play time to put two pucks past the 28th-ranked Chicago penalty kill. Unfortunately, his inability contribute at even strength still led to a minus-2 rating for the Finn. Granlund has gotten at least one point in 17 of his past 20 games, with nine goals and 15 assists over that span.

EDGE Analysis
Granlund has managed five goals and 10 points through nine games in the month of February. He is enjoying his best season in the NHL, and has emerged as a two-way stud. The Finnish center is near the top of the league with a plus-31 rating. He continues to be a must-have in all fantasy pools.

Granlund notched his first career hat trick and added an assist in Saturday's win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
It was a dominant outing for Granlund, who fired six shots on goal and was a plus-4. The 24-year-old is producing at a point-per-game pace this season and evolving into a dynamic two-way force. Granlund's current 12-game point streak is the longest in the NHL this year, making him a must-start every game. With a plus-30 rating and non-stop production, Granlund is fantasy gold.

Granlund stuffed the stat sheet with a goal, a power-play assist and four shots Thursday against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund played a big hand in this 5-1 win, and is putting together a tremendous all-around campaign. In addition to a career-best plus-24 rating, the 24-year-old Finn is just one goal and two points short of last season's career bests in 34 fewer games.

Granlund posted two assists with a plus-2 rating, three shots on goal and a blocked shot in Saturday's 5-4 win against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund hasn't scored a goal in five games in the month of January, but he has been productive with five assists and a plus-4 rating. He is on pace for a 65-point season, which would be well in excess of his career-high 44 points set last season. Granlund has emerged as a must-start fantasy option due to his point total, and his plus-22 rating through 41 games is an added bonus.

Granlund factored in both Minnesota goals in a 4-2 loss to Columbus on Saturday. He scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist.
EDGE Analysis
He's been on fire in his last 12 games with 15 points (five goals, 10 assists). Granlund has only been held off the scoresheet twice in that span and he's been particularly potent in his last six games, recording nine points (three goals).

Granlund assisted on the game's first goal and wrapped up the scoring with an empty-netter in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild have been unbeatable lately, and Granlund's been a major reason why, as he now owns a sparkling 13 points with a plus-12 rating in the last 11 games. The 24-year-old's career high in points is last year's modest 44, but the Finn already has 27 this year, putting him on pace for 60-plus. This breakout is real; get on the train.

Granlund registered a goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating during Friday's 7-4 win against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild are clicking and Granlund benefitted from the team's seemingly unstoppable attack. That's now points in three straight for the 24-year-old, as he's picked up a goal and four helpers in that span. In fact, he hasn't slowed his pace in December, totaling 11 points through 11 contests. With Minnesota streaking, it's probably best to start the playmakers on the top six without question.

Granlund dished out a pair of helpers in Thursday's 4-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has racked up nine points in his past eight games while skating over 18 minutes in all but one of those contests. The Finnish forward plays an active role on both the power play and penalty kill in addition to his second-line role at even strength, and his special teams involvement paid off here with a sort-handed assist on Eric Staal's game-winning goal.

Granlund notched a goal on his only shot and a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
That makes points in five straight for the budding Finn, who's finding the scoresheet at the highest rate of his career. Granlund's decline in shots on goal and rise in shooting percentage this season are a bit troubling, though, as regression could hit him hard if he doesn't start putting more pucks on net.
