Haula was traded to the Predators from the Devils on Wednesday in exchange for Jeremy Hanzel and a fourth-round pick in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Haula's offense diminished during his time with the Devils, going from 41 points two years ago to 35 points in 2023-24 and just 21 points in 69 regular-season games in 2024-25. That doesn't bode well for his production moving forward, but he should be a regular in the Predators' lineup as a middle-six forward, either at center or on the wing. Haula can also add some hits and PIM, which should work well with the other gritty players that will be around him with his new team.

Haula recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Haula ended the regular season in style and posted his first multi-point game since notching a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on March 9. The 34-year-old veteran didn't have the best season from a statistical perspective, however, and he recorded just 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) over 69 regular-season contests.

Haula scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going five contests without a point. The 34-year-old forward continues to occupy a top-six role, though his production is more in line with a depth forward. He's now at 10 goals, 19 points, 104 shots on net, 99 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-7 rating across 66 appearances.

Haula notched an assist in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Haula got on the scoresheet against one of his former teams, setting up a Timo Meier tally in the second period. This snapped a five-game drought for Haula, who has been in a second-line role in recent weeks. The 34-year-old has had a down year on offense with 18 points, 102 shots on net, 98 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-7 rating across 65 appearances after earning at least 35 points in each of the previous three campaigns.

Haula scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Haula scored for the third game in a row, and he has six points over his last seven outings. A larger role at even strength has helped him find more success -- he was on the top line alongside Nico Hischier for Monday's game. Haula is up to nine goals, 17 points, 97 shots on net, 87 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 59 contests this season. He won't be anywhere near his point total from recent campaigns, but he's finishing strong and shouldn't be ignored in fantasy as long as he's on the top line.

Haula scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Haula scored with 23 seconds left in the third period, but the Devils didn't have a second late goal in them to force overtime. The 33-year-old is up to five points over his last six games, a span that includes three of his eight goals this season. The Finn is at 16 points, 95 shots on net, 87 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 58 appearances. He's in danger of missing the 20-point mark for the first time since 2018-19, an injury-riddled season for Vegas in which he was limited to 15 games.

Haula scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has two goals and two assists over his last five outings. The 33-year-old was in a brutal slump for much of the middle of the campaign, failing to record a point between Nov. 27 and March 7. The forward's lack of production has seen him reduced to a bottom-six role, where he has accumulated 15 points, 93 shots on net, 86 hits and a minus-9 rating over 57 appearances this season. Things are looking up with his recent play, so Haula may be worth streaming at times in the fantasy playoffs.

Haula generated a goal and a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Haula gave the Devils a 2-0 lead at 5:39 of the middle frame and set up Dawson Mercer's empty-net goal on the power play late in the third. This was Haula's first time on the scoresheet since Nov. 25, though he did miss 12 games from Jan. 6 to Feb. 2 with an ankle injury. It was also just his second multi-point effort of the campaign. For the season, the 33-year-old has chipped in six goals and seven helpers while serving mostly in a middle-six capacity over 53 appearances.

Haula (ankle) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's game versus Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey returned Brian Halonen to AHL Utica in a corresponding move. Haula will occupy a top-six role following a 12-game absence. He has registered five goals, 11 points, 72 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 67 hits through 42 appearances this season.

Haula (ankle) could be an option versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday with head coach Sheldon Keefe telling reporters, "Practice today was more forecasting the rest of the week. We'll see. He got a good workout in and pushed himself quite hard. We'll see where he's at," Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula practiced in a second-line role at Monday's practice, a good indication he'll be given the all-clear ahead of Tuesday's contest. Prior to his absence, the Finn was stuck in an 18-game goal drought during which he chipped in 32 shots, 30 hits and 10 PIM while averaging 14:06 of ice time. In order to play Tuesday, Haula will need to be activated off injured reserve.
