Granlund had his second multi-point effort in a row, scoring once in each period to lead the Stars' offense in Game 4. The 33-year-old has been on the top line lately, and he's earned five of his seven points this postseason over the last two contests.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Dishes two apples Sunday
Rotowire
Granlund generated two even-strength assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Granlund provided assists on goals by Thomas Harley and Mikko Rantanen in the first and third periods, respectively. The 33-year-old Granlund had just one goal and one assist over nine playoff outings coming into Game 3, but his multi-point performance Sunday helped Dallas gain a 2-1 series lead. Granlund has yet to put more than two shots on goal in a game in the 2025 playoffs, so his production will most likely continue to be tied to his playmaking abilities.

Rotowire
Granlund logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Granlund helped out on a Jamie Benn goal in the third period, which tied the game at 1-1. This resulted from a lineup shuffle that saw Granlund get bumped up to the first line after the Stars' offense largely sputtered for the first two contests of the series. The Finn has one helper, two shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff games after posting 22 goals and 66 points across 83 regular-season outings between the Stars and Sharks.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Three-point effort in overtime loss
Rotowire
Granlund scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two power-play assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Scoring an empty-netter in a loss is a rarity, and even more so when considering the Canucks forced overtime with three goals in the final minute. That doesn't detract from Granlund's strong individual performance Tuesday, which gives him six goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. The 33-year-old Finn is up to 22 goals, 44 assists, 167 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-4 rating over 79 appearances between the Stars and Sharks. Granlund is just three points shy of matching his career-high 69 from the 2016-17 campaign with the Wild.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Keeps producing for Dallas
Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Granlund seems to be getting into a groove, and if the Stars want to make a deep playoff run, they'll need the 33-year-old to be at his best. The former Sharks playmaker has done exactly that lately by providing six points over his last six outings, meaning he might enter the playoffs on a hot streak. Granlund has 17 points (five goals, 12 helpers) in 23 games for Dallas this season after being acquired from the Sharks via trade in early February.

Stars' Mikael Granlund: Nets goal vs. Calgary
Rotowire
Granlund scored a goal with his lone shot on target and added a helper in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
Granlund snapped a four-game goal drought with his tally, and the 33-year-old continues to try and find his footing in Dallas. Even though he hasn't been the most consistent player on a game-to-game basis, he has notched nine points (four goals, five assists) over 13 contests in March. That's not a low figure, but the Stars could use more out of the veteran. He has racked up 15 points in 21 games since being acquired from the Sharks in February.

Rotowire
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'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.

Rotowire
Granlund put up an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Granlund still hasn't scored as a Star yet, but he has eight assists over 12 appearances with the team. The 33-year-old forward is poised to see a slightly smaller role now that fellow Finn Mikko Rantanen is on the team -- look for Granlund to be firmly in the middle six and on the second power-play unit. Over 64 outings between the Stars and Sharks, Granlund has 53 points, 142 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 43 hits and a minus-6 rating.

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.
