10/29: The San Jose Sharks have activated Granlund from injured reserve and assigned Jacob Peterson and Thomas Bordeleau to the AHL.
10/29: San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn shared that he expects Mikael Granlund to be available for the team’s Sunday evening contest, although it will seemingly be a game-time decision. Granlund was placed on injured reserve on October 13th with a lower-body injury.
Granlund only managed one game with the Sharks before his move to injured reserve. He went without a point, playing in 15-and-a-half minutes in the matchup. It was his debut in San Jose, officially making the Sharks the fourth team he’s played for throughout his career. The forward missed much of the 2022-23 season with injury but netted 36 points in 58 games during the 2021-22 season; a 50-point pace through 82 games. The 31-year-old has accrued 751 career NHL games, scoring 484 points. He’ll look to climb his way to the 500-point mark with the Sharks this season, set to return from injury soon.
