Haula (upper body) is slated to return Wednesday versus Boston, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Haula missed Saturday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton because of the injury. He has seven goals and 13 points in 21 outings this campaign. His return might result in Chris Tierney being a healthy scratch against the Bruins.

Haula (upper body) will not play Sunday against Edmonton, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Haula was a late scratch during Sunday's warmups, so it's currently unclear how severe the injury is. This injury is unrelated to the lower-body issue that cost him three games at the end of November and beginning of December. Haula has seven goals and 13 points in 21 games this season. New Jersey's next game is Wednesday against Boston.

Haula scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM and doled out two hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Haula missed three games with a lower-body injury and saw just 15:21 of ice time in his return. The 32-year-old forward had to fill in as a top-six center when the Devils were shorthanded down the middle, but with the team near full strength up front, Haula is likely to be on the wing. The veteran has seven goals, six assists, 38 shots on net, 18 PIM, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating through 19 appearances. Given the quality of the Devils' top six, Haula is still an interesting depth option for fantasy managers.

Haula (lower body) will be back in the lineup Tuesday versus Vancouver, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula has six goals, 12 points, 35 shots on net and 18 hits in 18 outings this season. He is slated to play on the top line with Jack Hughes and Tyler Toffoli following a three-game absence.

Haula (lower body) will miss Friday's game versus San Jose, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the Devils' third straight game without Haula. He has six goals and 12 points in 18 contests this season. Stein noted that Haula might still be an option to return during the Devils' upcoming four-game road trip, which will begin with a match in Vancouver on Tuesday. When the 32-year-old does return, he will likely play a middle-six role and be a member of the second power-play unit.

Haula (lower body) won't play Thursday versus Philadelphia, per Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the Devils' second straight game without Haula. He has six goals and 12 points in 18 contests this campaign. When Haula's ready to return, he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity and see time on the second power-play unit.

Haula (undisclosed) is unlikely to play against the Islanders on Tuesday after coach Lindy Ruff told reporters, "Doesn't look like he'll be available," per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Haula had seemingly found his offensive game prior to getting hurt with one goal and three assists in his last five contests. The veteran forward managed just 9:30 of ice time against the Sabres on Saturday before being forced off the ice due to his undisclosed injury. With Haula unavailable, Curtis Lazar (lower body) could move into a third-line role if healthy enough to play Tuesday.

Haula was unable to finish Saturday's game versus the Sabres due to an undisclosed injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haula didn't play in the third period due to the injury. Until more details are released, it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up Tuesday versus the Islanders. Max Willman, Timo Meier (lower body) or Curtis Lazar (lower body) could be options to join the lineup if Haula misses time.

Haula picked up a pair of helpers in Thursday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Haula is still mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he notched 11 shots. The veteran center has managed four helpers during his slump, including a pair with the man advantage. Despite the lack of goals, Haula should still be capable of cresting the 40-point threshold for the third consecutive season.

Haula collected a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Haula had the secondary helper on Dawson Mercer's third-period tally. Through six games in November, Haula has managed just two power-play assists. The 32-year-old forward is at eight points, 26 shots, 11 hits, seven blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 13 appearances. He has not benefited from playing a larger role with Jack Hughes (shoulder) and Nico Hischier (upper body) sidelined.
