Haula (illness) missed his third consecutive practice Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula still hasn't been on the ice yet during training camp. He logged 16 goals and 35 points over 76 regular-season games in 2023-24. The veteran forward figures to work in a middle-six role again in New Jersey during the upcoming campaign.

Haula ended the 2023-24 season with 16 goals, 35 points and 155 shots on goal in 76 appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Haula also set a career high with 54 PIM, and his minus-1 rating was his worst since a minus-16 mark with the Golden Knights in 2017-18. Ironically, that season in Vegas was Haula's most productive from an offensive standpoint (29 goals and 55 points), but he didn't provide nearly enough offense in 2023-24 to help counterbalance New Jersey's teamwide defensive struggles as the Devils fell short of the postseason.

Haula had no shots and a minus-1 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has struggled to generate offense lately despite seeing significant ice time -- he skated 19:45 in Sunday's loss, including 1:33 on the power play. His last multi-point game came Feb. 6, and Haula has just three goals and three assists in 20 subsequent appearances. Overall, Haula's at 14 goals and 31 points in 62 games.

Haula logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Haula set up a Nico Hischier empty-net goal to close out the win. The 32-year-old Haula has remained as the second-line center since Jack Hughes returned Feb. 8. Staying in the top six is good news for Haula's scoring potential, though he's still likely to be a complementary player. He's at 27 points, 93 shots on net, 49 hits, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 46 appearances.

Haula scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Haula was away from the team to welcome his second child prior to the All-Star break. He showed off some dad strength in his return, earning his third multi-point effort since the start of January while snapping a six-game goal drought. The 32-year-old is up to 25 points, 86 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-1 rating through 42 contests. Haula continues to play as a middle-six center, though he could move down the lineup or onto the wing once Jack Hughes (upper body) returns.

Haula (personal) rejoined New Jersey on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula missed the Devils' last game before the All-Star break to attend the birth of his second child. The 32-year-old forward returned to practice Sunday and figures to be back in the lineup Tuesday versus Colorado. Haula has 10 goals and 23 points in 41 games this season.

Haula (personal) won't play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haula and his wife are expecting the birth of their second child. The 32-year-old Haula has 10 goals, 23 points and 82 shots on net over 41 games this season. Max Willman may draw into the lineup Saturday due to Haula's absence.

According to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site, Haula (personal) was not on the ice for Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Haula has been solid for the Devils thus far recording 10 goals and 13 assists in 41 games. The 32-year-old's status for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay is currently unknown -- he has been a pivotal piece of the team during Jack Hughes' (upper body) extended absence, so Haula being sidelined would be a significant loss for the Devils.

Haula recorded a pair of assists against the Capitals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Haula's second multi-point game of the season but he remains stuck in an eight-game goal drought during which he's registered just 14 shots. Despite the slump, the veteran continues to slot into a second-line role while seeing limited minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Haula recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Haula, who missed Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers with an upper-body injury, looked sharp in his 12:16 of ice time against the Bruins. The third-line winger has seven goals and just as many assists through 22 games this season, rendering him a decent fantasy option even though he's not consistently utilized on the power play.
