Haula scored a goal and added an assist with four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Haula's goal just before the midway point of the second period gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead and held up as the game-winner. The 28-year-old has been on a nice roll since returning from a knee injury just before Christmas, collecting three goals and three assists in those five games. For the season, Haula has 11 goals and 17 points in 21 games.

Haula (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has been a fantastic third-line center, as he's generated 10 goals and five assists over 20 games. He'll continue to center Ryan Dzingel and Martin Necas going forward.

Haula (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with Montreal, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cooach Rod Brind'Amour is hopeful that Haula will be good to go against the Canadiens, so he can be considered closer to probable than questionable for Tuesday's contest. If he's able to go, the 28-year-old will slot into his usual spot skating on the Hurricanes' third line and second power-play unit.

Haula scored two goals and an assist in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

In just his second game back from a knee injury that cost him a month of action, Haula set a new season scoring high. The 28-year-old now has 10 goals and 14 points through 18 games on the year, but those tallies have come on only 41 shots, giving him an unsustainable 24.4 percent shooting rate.

Haula (knee) is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Panthers, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula will make his long-awaited return to the lineup, as he's missed the last 15 games. Despite the missed time, Haula still ranks fourth on the team with eight goals. The 28-year-old will resume his third-line role, centering Ryan Dzingel and Martin Necas.

Haula (knee) remains day-to-day according to coach Rod Brind'Amour but is traveling with the team, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brind'Amour didn't offer much in terms of a timeline, telling reporters, "It might be soon. It might not be," but at least Haula is taking part in practice sessions. The center has missed the past 13 games due to his knee issue and should probably be considered a long shot to suit up versus Winnipeg on Tuesday. Once cleared to play, Haula will likely start in a bottom-six role, though he could challenge for more minutes as he gets back up to speed.

Haula (knee) won't travel with the team on its upcoming five-game road trip, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has already missed the last 10 games, and the team will carry on without him for another five. The veteran center will look to return Dec. 21 against the Panthers. Despite his extended absence, Haula still ranks fourth on the team with eight goals. Lucas Wallmark and Julien Gauthier should both get time centering the third line in Haula's stead.

Haula (knee) still hasn't resumed skating and will miss Friday's game against the Predators, according to Kurt Dusterberg's NHL.com game preview.

EDGE Analysis

Haula hasn't played since Nov. 16, and he doesn't seem particularly close to returning, either. He had gotten off to a hot start with Carolina prior to getting hurt, notching eight goals in 16 games.

Haula (knee) will remain out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers, according to Michael Smith's game preview for NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Haula returned from a knee injury earlier this month and played two games before suffering a setback. The exact extent of his injury is still unknown, but it's kept him out since Nov. 16.

Haula is expected to be sidelined long term due to his lingering knee issue. Coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters, "He's going to be out for a while. He's not playing any time soon, I don't think," Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula returned from a four-game stint on the shelf to play in the Hurricanes' previous two games, but appears to have suffered a setback. The team didn't provide a specific timeline, but at this point, fantasy owners should probably consider the Finnish center out indefinitely.
