Haula is projected to move up to the second line against the Capitals on Wednesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul Stastny (undisclosed) is expected to miss the next three games, otherwise Haula almost assuredly wouldn't have seen the line upgrade, yet there does seem to be some merit in his promotion. The Finnish-born center scored on his only shot against the Sabres on Monday, and Haula is averaging close to two minutes on the man advantage in the infancy of the 2018-19 campaign.

Haula scored one goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Haula's been working as the second-line right wing in Alex Tuch's absence but hadn't recorded a point until he fired a shot on net and it deflected off a defender and past Carter Hutton. Fantasy owners shouldn't fret at the measly output over three games, as the 27-year-old continues to work on the team's second power-play unit where he racked up 12 goals and 19 points last season.

Haula provided the shootout winner over the Wild on Saturday, with the Golden Knights edging out the home team, 2-1.

EDGE Analysis

Haula was the sixth shooter in the skills competition, going five-hole on Devan Dubnyk, whose momentum from sliding backwards allowed the puck to trickle into the cage. Unfortunately, shootout goals rarely count in fantasy games, and Haula finds himself looking for his first goal or assist of the 2018-19 campaign after sailing to career highs across the board with Vegas last year.

Haula scored 29 goals and 55 points while registering 175 shots on goal in 76 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Like most of his Vegas teammates, Haula took his first season as a Golden Knight is stride and set career highs in nearly every category, including goals, assists, and points. He was also excellent with a man advantage, racking up 19 power-play points. However, the 27-year-old was quiet during a 20-game postseason run, scoring just three goals and nine points. Barring an offseason trade, Haula should remain with the team and continue growing in the 2018-19 season.

Haula garnered a helper in Monday's 6-2 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

In the regular season, Haula racked up 29 goals (second best on the team), but is currently stuck in a rut with a 10-game goal drought that dates back to the second round of the playoffs. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the center hasn't added much during his slump, as he has just four assists, 14 shots and 12 hits. The Golden Knights will need all hands on deck -- the 26-year-old included -- in order to extend the series Thursday.

Haula notched an assist on the opening goal in Monday's Game 1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Haula helped set the tone with a power-play assist just 7:15 into the first period. The second-line center now has eight points (three goals, five assists) in 16 games so far in the playoffs, a career-high mark. The 27-year-old Finnish winger also enjoyed by far his most productive regular season with Vegas in 2017-18, compiling 55 points (29 goals, 26 assists) in 76 games, showcasing his potential to produce at a high level. While he may not play quite as much as some other second-line centers around the league (16:54 per game in the playoffs), Haula is a key part of what makes Vegas' four-line attack so dangerous.

Haula scored a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Sharks in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

The helper came on James Neal's tally with the man advantage, one of three power-play goals the Golden Knights scored in the rout. Haula was quiet in the first round, picking up only one point (a goal) in the four-game sweep of the Kings, but the 27-year-old looks ready to get back to his regular-season form now that he's got his playoff legs under him.

Haula scored the game-winning goal Friday, beating Jonathan Quick on his team's 56th shot to earn a 2-1 double overtime victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The rest seems to have paid off for Haula, who nearly hit the 30-goal mark in a career year during the regular season. Coming through in double overtime is the mark of a clutch player, and Haula should keep getting opportunities as normal. He'll need plenty in this series, as Jonathan Quick has been in top form so far.

EDGE Analysis

Haula got the night off on Tuesday in Vancouver as Vegas is prepping its roster for a postseason run. The 27-year-old Finn has been one of several pleasant surprises for the Golden Knights this season, scoring 29 goals and 55 points in 74 games played. Haula can be used as normal now that he's back.

Haula (rest) will sit out against the Canucks on Tuesday, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's nothing to suggest that Haula's absence is for any reason other than rest. Vegas has defied the odds by making it to the playoffs in the inaugural season, and Haula -- who has 55 points (29 goals, 26 assists) through 74 games -- needs to be in tip-top shape as a skater deployed in both special teams situations.
