Granlund was injured on his first shift and only played 12 seconds before heading down the tunnel. Granlund could miss a lengthy period of time, a tough break for a player who was just in his seventh career NHL game.
Granlund was the Flames second round pick (45th overall) in 2011. He has 23 goals and 21 assists (44 points) in 50 games with Abbotsford (AHL) in his first North American season. Granlund is expected to centre the fourth line with Paul Byron and Westgarth on his wings.
This is Granlund's second recall of the season. During his first recall he failed to get into a game, but he has impressed enough with Abbotsford to earn another shot. He has 23 goals and 21 assists (44 points) in 50 AHL games this season. The 2011 second round pick (45th overall) has yet to suit up for an NHL contest.
Granlund is the Flames' 2nd round draft pick from 2011. He may get an opportunity to provide an offensive spark for the Flames given his AHL production but counting on anything substantial from the 20 year old may be a stretch.
