Haula (lower body) has resumed skating on his own, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Getting back on the ice is a step in the right direction for Haula, though his return is far from imminent. The center will need to rejoin his teammates at practice and start taking contact before he is activated off injured reserve. Once cleared to play, the Finn will be hard-pressed to earn a top-six role, especially following the addition of Mark Stone at the trade deadline.

Haula (lower body) is expected to start skating soon, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A vital member of Vegas during its Stanley Cup run last season, Haula has been limited to just 15 games in 2018-19. He broke out for 55 points in his first season as a Golden Knight and his return is greatly anticipated for a middle-of-the-pack offensive team.

Haula (lower body) underwent surgery last month, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. "It wasn't an ACL as some people reported," Golden Knights GM George McPhee said. "It's just an atypical injury for hockey."

EDGE Analysis

There is still hope that Haula will return this season, but he remains month-to-month with his lower-body injury. On Friday, Vegas welcomed Paul Stansty back into the lineup after he'd dealt with a significant lower-body injury of his own, and that will help offset some of the special teams contributions that Haula likely would've made in a healthy state.

Haula (lower body) is back in Vegas and on crutches. While he hasn't been ruled out for the season, head coach Gerard Gallant says he won't play for a couple months, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that the idea of Haula being out for the year has to be addressed is certainly not a good sign. It seems like the Golden Knights have to be prepared to be without their center for quite some time. Vegas is also without Paul Stastny (undisclosed) for a couple more weeks, so it is really being stretched at the center position for now.

Haula is considered month-to-month according to coach Gerard Gallant due to his lower-body issue, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news effectively rules Haula out for the rest of November (at least). It's a significant blow for a team that has been without Paul Stastny (undisclosed) since early October and don't anticipate having him available until mid-December. Cody Eakin figures to hold on to the second-line center role until either Haula or Stastny is ready to return.

Haula (lower body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 6, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights have not provided an update on Haula's status and by using a retroactive designation the club could still activate him as soon as he is healthy. Prior to getting hurt, the center appeared to have shaken off his slow start to the season with five points in as many games. In Haula's stead, Cody Eakin figures to take on a top-six role.

The Golden Knights don't expect to have an update on Haula (lower body) until Wednesday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Vegas plays on Wednesday and the team stated that they won't have an update on Haula's injury until that day puts him at risk of missing his fourth straight game. The Golden Knights will then host the Blues on Friday before embarking on a three-game road trip.

Haula (lower body) will remain with the Golden Knights on a three-game road trip, but he won't play in any of those contests, according to coach Gerard Gallant.

EDGE Analysis

Haula will be out until next Wednesday's home game against the Ducks at the earliest. The Finn absorbed a hard hit from Patrick Marleau in Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs and had to be stretched off the ice, but Vegas has opted to leave him on the active roster for the time being.

Haula was stretchered off the ice after taking a hit from Patrick Marleau in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marleau's hit caused Haula's leg to buckle against the boards in an ugly scene. The severity of the injury is clearly bad from the stretcher being used, but there's no official diagnosis at this time. Expect a prompt update by the postgame presser.

Haula assisted Max Pacioretty's goal Wednesday, but the Golden Knights suffered a 3-2 shootout loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Haula moved up to the second line to compensate for the team losing Paul Stastny (undisclosed) -- he could miss up to two months -- but the line upgrade hasn't had the intended effect offensively for the Finn, as he's only up to two points through the first nine games of the 2018-19 season. Look, no one is expecting Haula to match what Stastny can do in the attacking zone, but we were hoping for a little more than what he's given considering the Finn uncorked 29 goals and 26 assists over 76 games for the Golden Knights in 2017-18.
