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.
