Mikael Granlund posted one goal and three assists in 21:52 as Anaheim beat Pittsburgh 5-2 on Sunday, November 8. He added three shots, two blocks and a plus-three rating in the victory.

The four-point night sits well above Granlund's recent averages of 0.78 points, 2.0 shots and 18:50 a night. His underlying play grades 50 out of 100 among forwards for shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is. With three games still to play this week (Sun, Wed, Sat), he becomes a streaming option in deeper formats.

Granlund played 21:52 Sunday, three minutes above his usual 18:50 a night, and delivered his best line in recent memory. The four points represent more than five times his recent 0.78 points per game, while the three shots edge his 2.0 average. He added 2:59 of power-play time per game, ranking fifth among all Ducks skaters, though none of his points came on the man advantage.

His underlying process score of 50 out of 100 among forwards suggests Sunday's output came more from finishing than sustained opportunities. Still, with games remaining on Wed and Sat this week and four contests next week, Granlund offers short-term streaming value in leagues where he sits on waivers. His recent 0.27 goals and 0.51 assists per game establish a baseline well below Sunday's eruption, but the ice time and first-unit role keep him relevant in the right matchups.

What to do

• Stream Granlund in deeper leagues for his three remaining games this week on Sun, Wed and Sat.

• Expect regression toward his recent 0.78 points per game given his middling underlying process score.

• Monitor his ice time and power-play role over the next few games to see if Sunday's 21:52 becomes the norm.
