Granlund scored two goals in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks. He also notched four shots, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.
Granlund hasn't been much of a scorer for the Stars since joining the team in early February, but perhaps this is the kind of game he needed to turn things around. He came through when the team needed him the most, as Granlund scored the game-winninng goal in overtime. He's logged 16 appearances for Dallas since being traded from the Sharks, tallying 11 points (three goals, eight assists), 23 shots, 11 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over that span.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: First goal in Victory Green
Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Granlund failed to find the back of the net in his first 12 games as a Star after being acquired from the Sharks in a Feb. 1 trade. The 33-year-old finally broke through Sunday with the go-ahead goal -- and eventual game-winner -- in the final minute of the second period. He's up to 16 goals, 54 points, 144 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-4 rating through 65 appearances this season. Granlund is a playmaker, so don't be surprised if his offensive output remains tilted more toward assists the rest of the way.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Garners helper Friday
Rotowire
Granlund notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Assist in team debut
Rotowire
Granlund logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Granlund was traded from the Sharks on Saturday, and it didn't take him long to get on the scoresheet for his new team. He set up Logan Stankoven's second-period tally. The 32-year-old Granlund saw massive minutes in San Jose this season, so his ice time is virtually guaranteed to be much lower in Dallas given the depth and balance of the team's forward group. Granlund centered Jamie Benn and Evgenii Dadonov on the third line Sunday but had 16:40 of ice time, third-most among Stars forwards. Granlund is at 46 points, 128 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 53 appearances this season. His versatility will allow him to maintain some interest in fantasy, and if the Stars shuffle their lineup, he stands to have a chance at top-six minutes either at center or on the wing.
