Haula is dealing with a nagging hip injury, per Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher, and will need four weeks to fully recover from the ailment, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula's hip ailment isn't thought to be overly serious, and shouldn't have any impact on the 25-year-old forward's readiness for next season's training camp. Despite his nagging injury, Haula was one of the Wild's most productive players in the team's first-round playoff series against the Stars, notching four points (one goal, three assists) in the five games he was able to suit up for. The 2009 seventh-round pick finished the 2015-16 regular season with a respectable 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 76 games, and could get an opportunity to fight for a top-six role in training camp due to Minnesota's lack of top-tier talent at forward.

Haula led the Wild six shots on goal, and also dished out an assist while finishing plus-1 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Haula wasn't the culprit behind this defeat, as the 25-year-old center was the most dangerous Wild skater all night. He has played remarkably well with three points in the last two games after missing Game 1 due to injury and struggling upon his initial return.

Haula (undisclosed) indicated Friday that he is ready to rejoin the lineup for Game 2 against the Stars on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

While he seems to think he's all systems go, coach John Torchetti seems to be in a bit more of a wait-and-see pattern, stating "We'll see how he feels tomorrow (Saturday)." Still, it's reasonable to assume that the 25-year-old Finn will rejoin the lineup Saturday barring a setback of some kind, giving the Wild an added offensive presence (34 points in 76 games) that seemed to be lacking in Game 1. Expect another update only if he's unable to go in Game 2.

As expected, Haula (undisclosed) will not play Thursday in Game 1 of a quarterfinal playoff match against the Stars, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula reportedly joined his team for the end of practice Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of playing in Game 2 on Saturday. The 25-year-old center blossomed late in the regular season, catching the eyes of fantasy owners with a 10-game point streak that began in mid-March.

Haula (undisclosed) likely won't be available for Thursday's Game 1 against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota is dealing with a multitude of injuries at forward, including Zach Parise (back) and Thomas Vanek (lower body), who have already been ruled out of the first two games of Minnesota's first-round matchup with Dallas. Haula hasn't officially been ruled out of Thursday's Game 1 against the Stars, but his chances of suiting up for that contest appear iffy at best at this juncture. Those keeping tabs on Haula's availability can expect an update on his status ahead of puck drop Thursday evening.

Coach John Torchetti maintains that Haula (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day by the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

That said, as Thursday's playoff opener against the Stars approaches, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press relayed Monday that Torchetti likes Haula's chances of playing in the contest against Jamie Benn's line.

Haula (undisclosed) did not practice Sunday and is listed as day-to-day, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's no indication as to when Haula was injured, or the nature of the injury itself. Haula has played himself into a top-six role, thanks to his late season production that included a 10-game point streak from March 12 to March 31. Head coach John Torchetti didn't tip his hand as to whether or not Haula would be ready for the start of the postseason, but further update should be given in the coming days.

Haula lit the lamp and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota's win streak came to a close, but Haula managed to extend his personal point streak to 10 games. The 25-year-old continues to find a way onto the scoresheet, finishing up March with six goals and six helpers, which is his most productive month of the season and second straight double-digit effort.

Haula registered a goal, an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Haula can't seem to stay off the scoresheet, reaching the box score in nine straight games. In that span, the winger has four markers and six apples, which has led to the 25-year-old's second consecutive month of 10-plus points. Haula's value won't get much higher than it is now.

Haula picked up an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Haula was able to join in on the fun, increasing his point streak to seven games. The 25-year-old is enjoying his best season as a member of the Wild, hitting 30 points for the first time in his three-year career.
