  "account": "Anaheim Ducks' captain Mikael Granlund is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury, sidelining him from the team's upcoming game against the Boston Bruins. The 34-year-old achieved a franchise record by leading the Ducks to a six-game point streak, a first for the team. While he appeared fine during a recent loss to the Calgary Flames, Granlund's absence puts additional pressure on an already challenged roster. Granlund contributed 8 points in the team's first six games, ranking second in scoring, and his potential absence could disrupt the team's offensive rhythm. Along with Granlund, other notable injuries include Ryan Poehling, who is projected to miss 6-8 weeks, and Cutter Gauthier, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The loss of Granlund, known for his 19:55 of ice time per game, adds to the growing list of injured players on the Ducks' roster, testing the team's depth. Despite handling challenges before, Granlund's early season absence could significantly impact the Ducks' playoff positioning.",
  "summary": "Anaheim's captain Mikael Granlund is out day-to-day with an upper-body injury, ending a historic six-game point streak just as the team faces Boston.",
