• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Dishes pair of helpers

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund logged two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild. Granlund set up both of Macklin Celebrini's tallies in the loss. Since Celebrini returned from a lower-body injury, Granlund has moved over to left wing, which could lead to him getting more position eligibility in some formats. The 32-year-old natural center has been excellent in a top-line role this season with six goals, eight assists, 45 shots on net and 16 hits through 14 contests, though he's also been saddled with a minus-7 rating that's unlikely to improve.

• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Three-point night in Utah

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah. With the Sharks down 4-1 late in the third period, the veteran center sparked a rally by setting Fabian Zetterlund up for a tally with less than five minutes remaining in regulation before finding the back of the net himself just 25 seconds later. Granlund then helped set up Alexander Wennberg for the OT winner. Granlund extended his point streak to seven games in the process, a stretch in which he's erupted for five goals and 12 points.

• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Tallies in Saturday's loss

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund scored a goal on five shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Granlund has four goals and five assists during his six-game point streak, but he's been the only bright spot for the Sharks in that span. The 32-year-old is up to 10 points, 34 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating through nine appearances. He'll have plenty of chances to contribute offensively in a large all-situations role. Still, Granlund is a risky option in fantasy formats that count plus-minus ratings because the Sharks tend to get heavily outscored.
