Granlund (wrist) will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Oilers, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Granlund has missed nearly a month due to his wrist injury, but appears ready to return to the lineup after practicing Monday. The 22-year-old center has posted 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 32 games this season, and will look to add to his totals when the second half kicks off this week. He remains listed on injured reserve for the time being, but Granlund's formal activation should come following Tuesday's gameday skate.
