Haula (undisclosed) is questionable to play in Game 5 against the Blues on Saturday, the Star Tribune reports. "I'm hoping he's available," coach Bruce Boudreau said.

EDGE Analysis

Even without Haula, the Wild managed to stave off elimination with Wednesday's shutout win on the road, but there's no doubt that the 26-year-old is an asset to Minnesota when healthy. A key cog on the penalty kill, Haula secured a serviceable 26 points in 74 regular-season games to go along with four game-winners, and his plus-5 rating further aided fantasy owners. He's bound to get reevaluated before the Wild host the Blues for Game 5 at 2:00 PM ET on Saturday.

Haula (undisclosed) will not suit up for Game 4 versus the Blues on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haula's absence could mark the end of his season if the Wild are unable to avoid the sweep Wednesday. Without the 26-year-old, Nino Niederreiter will continue to slot into a first-line role alongside Mikko Koivu and Mikael Granlund.

Haula missed practice Tuesday and is questionable to suit up against the Blues on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haula was able to give it a go for Game 3, but logged a mere 10:46 of ice time, well off his season average of 13:49. Like many of his teammates, the center is scoreless in this opening-round series as the Wild have been unable to figure out Jake Allen. If the 26-year-old is sidelined, Joel Eriksson Ek figures to slot into the lineup.

Haula (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's Game 3 against the Blues, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula skipped Saturday's practice session due to some soreness, but it appears the issue will not hold him out of any contests. He's slated to center Chris Stewart and Jason Pominville to start things off, but the lines have been pretty fluid early in the series.

Haula (undisclosed) is projected to play in Game 3 against the Blues on Sunday, the Wild's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula was reportedly a bit sore after being on the receiving end of a hit in the second period of Friday's Game 2, but it appears the issue shouldn't hold him out of any additional action. The lines were frequently adjusted in the contest, but the 25-year-old forward is projected to begin on a line with Martin Hanzal and Nino Niederreiter on Sunday.

Haula was on the receiving end of a dangerous hit from Scottie Upshall late in the second period of Friday's Game 2 against the Blues, 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports. The forward took a maintenance day Saturday and is "a little sore," per coach Bruce Boudreau.

EDGE Analysis

Haula will rest up with hopes of playing in Sunday's game against the Blues. The Finn's production seems to arrive in spurts, and he'll need to rediscover some of the magic from the postseason last year, when he recorded four points in a five-game span.

Haula scored a goal and an assist in a 5-2 victory against the Avalanche on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This performance snapped a seven-game pointless streak. The 26-year-old won't equal his 34 points or come close to his plus-21 rating from last season, but he has recorded a career-best 122 shots and matched his career-high of 14 goals. Perhaps he can add to that with a strong final week now that his slump is finished.

Haula scored a goal, added an assist and received a 10-minute misconduct penalty during Thursday's win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

It was a nice fantasy showing for the speedster, and Haula is now up to 12 goals and 20 points for the campaign. The misconduct penalty also doubled his PIM total to 20 for the year. WhileHaula is a solid asset for Minnesota, he doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of being an occasional contrarian flier in daily contests.

Haula posted a pair of goals with a plus-1 in Saturday's 5-3 win against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

It was Haula's first multi-point game since Nov. 29, and just his third contest with at least two points. He has three goals over the past three games, but he still has just nine markers and 15 points overall. Haula is more valuable to his real team than to fantasy owners, as he is a penalty kill specialist.

Haula (lower body) is expected to play Tuesday against the Predators, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has missed Minnesota's last three games with a lower-body injury, but made the trip to Nashville for Tuesday's contest, and will be in the lineup barring an unexpected setback. The 25-year-old pivot, who has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 23 games this season, is expected to slot into a bottom-six role against the Predators, centering Nino Niederreiter and Charlie Coyle on the Wild's third line.
