Mikael Granlund News: Ready to rock

Granlund (lower body) will return to the lineup Friday versus Washington, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Granlund has played only once in the last 18 games, finding the back of the net in Detroit on Nov. 13. The 33-year-old veteran has three goals and nine points in nine games this season. He is slated to start on the third line, between Frank Vatrano and Ryan Strome.
