Haula notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The assist ended a six-game point drought for Haula. The 33-year-old remains in a third-line role, but that's a spot in the lineup that may not always allow for consistency on offense. Haula's up to 10 points, 33 shots on net, 37 hits, 17 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 23 appearances.

Haula scored a goal on six shots and added three hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has scored all four of his goals this season over the last six games. The 33-year-old remains in a third-line role, so it's tough to expect him to stay consistent on offense, but he adds enough physical play to partially offset his slumps. For the season, he has eight points, 23 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-1 rating through 12 appearances.

Haula produced a power-play goal on his only shot in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Haula redirected a Timo Meier shot to tie the score at two apiece in the middle frame. Haula added one block, three hits and three takeaways to round out a solid fantasy performance. The 33-year-old hasn't reached the 20-goal mark since the 2017-18 campaign when he scored 29 with the Golden Knights, but he's on the right track in that regard with three goals through 10 games. Haula is off to a strong start to the season with seven points (four assists) while filling a bottom-six role and spot on the No. 2 power-play group.

Haula scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Haula is warming up on offense with goals in consecutive games. The 33-year-old center is up to six points, 11 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating through eight contests. He's the Devils' third-line center, but his all-situations usage often leads to Haula being a top-six forward in terms of actual ice time. His scoring pace is a bit high compared to his usual level, so don't expect Haula to keep this going throughout the campaign.

Haula scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Haula's first goal of the season came at 2:39 of the second period. While he's struggled to put up shots with just eight over seven contests, the 33-year-old has done a decent job as a middle-six playmaker. He's added four assists and a plus-2 rating while adding 12 hits. Haula's ice time has been down this year -- he averaged 16:53 last year but is at 14:24 per game in 2024-25, which is likely a product of Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier staying healthy early on.

Haula dished out three assists and two shots during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Haula is off to a terrific start to the 2024-25 campaign, with four assists in his first four games. Now entrenched as the Devils third-line center, Haula should garner every opportunity to record another 30-plus point campaign if he can stay healthy.

EDGE Analysis
It's the first time Haula has been on the ice with his teammates since training camp began. Although Haula needs some time to get back to full strength, he might still be an option for Friday's exhibition contest versus the Islanders.

Haula (illness) won't play in Tuesday's exhibition contest versus Montreal after skipping the morning skate, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula hasn't skated yet during training camp, but he was at the arena Sunday for a short workout, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. The 33-year-old Haula will be brought along slowly to rebuild his strength from an illness. He notched 16 goals and 19 assists across 76 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Haula will probably occupy a middle-six role and could see power-play time during the upcoming campaign.
