Haula scored the game-winning goal with 8:33 left in the third period of Thursday's win over St. Louis. He also added an assist.
EDGE Analysis
Haula played in his second game in a row after being scratched three consecutive games and responded with his third goal of the season. As a result, it looks like Haula may remain in the lineup even when Zach Parise returns to the lineup from an undisclosed injury.

Haula will return to the lineup Tuesday night versus the visiting Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Haula was a healthy scratch for the past three games, as newcomer Jarret Stoll has given Wild coach Mike Yeo a proficient faceoff man and penalty killer at the forward spot. Both players have their own strengths and weaknesses, with Haula providing two-way value to the team, albeit in a bottom-six role.

Haula was a healthy scratch in Saturday's loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has been a healthy scratch the past two games with several forwards returning from injury. Haula had times last year where he was stuck on the bench and in the coach's doghouse due to his defense. He got another chance at ice time last year, so he may not be on the bench too long.

Haula will be a scratch Thursday when the Wild play the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This is Haula's first scratch of the season and comes in the first game since the arrival of recent acquisition Jarret Stoll. It's not a sure thing that Haula will regularly be scratched, but there's more competition at center now with the arrival of Stoll and Tyler Graovac getting healthy.

Haula (illness) is expected to return Thursday, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula was unfit to play Tuesday against the Penguins due to the illness, but evidently he's no worse for the wear and should available against the Bruins on Thursday. He's a decent playmaker, albeit one seemingly entrenched in a bottom-six role.

Haula (illness) won't play Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haula didn't make the trip to Pittsburgh for Tuesday's game, which could indicate that the Wild doesn't expect him to be available for Thursday night's tilt in Boston either. Michael Keranen, who leads the Wild's AHL affiliate in scoring this season, was recalled to replace Haula in Minnesota's lineup for Tuesday's contest.

Haula scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's overtime loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Huala has drawn praise from head coach Mike Yeo for his play on both ends recently, which is a good sign since defensive lapses had him stuck on the bench at times last season. He looks set to stay on the Wild's fourth line and could find a larger role if there's an injury on a top-three line.
