Wild's Boudreau expects Granlund to miss next 4 games with injury

Minnesota Wild forward Mikael Granlund will miss the club's next four games "for sure" as he deals with an undisclosed injury, head coach Bruce Boudreau said Tuesday.

Granlund suited up for the Wild's season opener against the Detroit Red Wings, but missed the club's second game against the Carolina Hurricanes due to injury.

On Monday, Boudreau had said he thought Granlund's injury would keep him out "short term," according to Kayleigh Jackson of Wild.com.

Missing the club's next four games (against the Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Winnipeg Jets, and Calgary Flames) would mean Granlund won't return to the lineup until at least Oct. 24 when the Wild host the Vancouver Canucks.

Last season Granlund paced the Wild with 69 points in 81 games.
