The Anaheim Ducks’ Finnish captain Mikael Granlund, 34, has been on a remarkable run in the NHL.

Granlund was again in fine form as Anaheim defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5–2 on Monday night, Finnish time. The Finnish forward was involved in four of his team’s goals and recorded 1+3.

Granlund scored the opening goal of the match in the first period. The goal came just moments after Anaheim’s power play ended.

Later, Granlund excelled as a playmaker. He registered an assist on each of Cutter Gauthier’s three goals. Gauthier, who completed a hat trick, ended the game with four points, just like Granlund.

Granlund’s point streak has now extended to six games. During this stretch, the Finnish veteran has accumulated a total of 12 points.

Things are also going well for Anaheim. The Ducks have secured victories in five consecutive games.

Granlund’s start to the season has been highly productive overall. He has already recorded 20 points with 5+15 in 17 games.
