Haula scored the game-tying goal and added two helpers in Tuesday's win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Haul has three goals in his last six contest and is up to 17 points in 23 games on the season. The second-line center was credited with six shots on goal in the victory and has really become a reliable fantasy center. Haula's consistent offensive production and role on the first power-play unit make him worth inserting into your lineup whenever the Golden Knights are in action.

Haula scored his sixth goal of the season and added an assist in Thursday's win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has been terrific this season, managing 11 points in 14 contests. He netted a career-high 15 goals in his last season with the Wild as a depth scorer and has taken on a more significant role in Vegas. The 26-year-old now plays on the first power-play unit and is centering the second line. Haula is in his prime and on track for a career year, so make sure you take advantage.

Haula had a big day Saturday, scoring two goals and adding one assist. One of the goals and the assist came on the power play.
EDGE Analysis
What a sweet afternoon for Haula, who had come off injured reserve a week ago. He was a depth forward in Minnesota, but with Saturday's game, he has six points in nine games. Haula could deliver career totals this season.

Haula (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has been trending in the right direction toward returning to the lineup. In a corresponding move, the Golden Knights waived Jason Garrison to clear space on the 23-man roster. While the club hasn't confirmed the center's status, it's hard to imagine he would be taken of IR just to sit on the bench -- look for Haula to suit up versus Colorado on Friday.

Haula (lower body) returned to the ice on his own Saturday, having skated for nearly 25 minutes ahead of the team practice, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
A shifty playmaker, Haula remains on injured reserve but is said to be nearing a return to the lineup. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights continue to drop jaws with an incredible record-breaking start; they've earned 12 points through their first seven games to kick-start the inaugural season. As a result, we're betting that this has reduced the pressure on Haula to return before he's absolutely ready.

Haula (undisclosed) is expected to get on the ice with the team Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Haula is just stepping back onto the ice for the first time doesn't bode well for his availability against the Blues on Saturday, although coach Gerard Gallant did not specifically rule the winger out. With the 26-year-old sidelined, the Golden Knights brought up highly touted prospect Alex Tuch, who has potted two goals in as many games.

Haula was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Saturday, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
A bottom-six center who averaged 3:46 of power-play ice time with a pair of points through his first four games with the expansion club, Haula's injury is a bit curious, but it must be a significant condition for him to be sent directly to IR. The Finn was quite active in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings, scoring his first goal of the season with five PIM and four shots. Vegas has called up Russian playmaker Vadim Shipachyov in the wake of Haula's ailment.

Haula's new contract with the Golden Knights is a three-year deal worth $2.75 million per season, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula spent the first four seasons of his NHL career in Minnesota, where he most recently recorded 26 points, including a career-high 15 goals, in 72 games last year. The 26-year-old never recorded more than 34 points in his time with the Wild (2015-16), but he was a standout at the University of Minnesota with 100 points over his last 80 games, so it's likely Vegas is banking on him recapturing some of that scoring touch in its inaugural season. Of course, it's too early to say where exactly Haula will slot in on the team's depth chart, though an assignment in the bottom six is probably the likeliest outlook at this point based on Vegas' other centers (Vadim Shipachyov, Cody Eakin and William Karlsson).

Haula apparently agreed to terms on a multi-year contract with the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
By signing with Vegas, Haula becomes the team's official selection in the expansion draft. Convincing general manager George McPhee to take the 26-year-old -- and avoid a young defensive core -- did not come without a cost for Minnesota. The Wild are also sending Alex Tuch and a conditional draft pick to the Golden Knights. Last year, Haula recorded 15 goals and 11 helpers while averaging 13:49 of ice time. Until the rest of the team is unveiled, it is hard to determine what the Finn's role will be, but fantasy owners probably shouldn't be surprised to see him on the third or fourth line for coach Gerard Gallant.

Haula (undisclosed) will return to Minnesota's lineup for Saturday's Game 5 against the Blues, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula suffered the undisclosed ailment when he took a hit from St. Louis' Scottie Upshall in Game 2 and then aggravated the injury in Game 3, which limited the 26-year-old to just 10:46 of ice time Sunday. The Finnish forward wasn't available for Wednesday's Game 4, but he'll return to a top-six role Saturday, skating with Mikko Koivu and Mikael Granlund on the Wild's top line. He'll look to pick up his first point of the series and help his team force a Game 6.
