Erik Haula News

Haula did not travel to Philadelphia and will be replaced by Haydn Fleury, who will dress as a seventh defenseman. Haula will be replaced by Lucas Wallmark on the third line and is listed as day-to-day.

Haula missed 67 games last season after suffering a lower-body injury that required him to be stretchered off of the ice in November. In his two seasons with Vegas, Haula had 62 points (31G / 31A) in 91 total games. Haula has one-year left at $2.75M AAV and the condition on the fifth-round pick is dependent on Haula re-signing in Carolina after next season.

Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant announced on Wednesday that Haula is “month-to-month” but wouldn’t say if he needed surgery. Haula will likely be out until at least mid-December and could be out much longer than that.

Haula was stretchered off of the ice in Toronto on November 6th, but his injury remains a bit of a mystery. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that Haula’s injury is complex and the Golden Knights won’t know the full extent of the injury until he receives second and third medical opinions. It sounds like the second-line centre will miss at least a couple of months.

Haula was stretchered off of the ice after a collision with Patrick Marleau on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the Golden Knights’ road-trip. Haula will likely be re-evaluated once the Golden Knights return to Vegas and a full timetable will be released. However, this has to seem like positive news because it looked like his season could be over last night.

Haula has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he will return to the lineup tonight vs. Colorado. Haula has picked up one goal, one assist and 15 shots on goal in four games.

Haula was injured early in the Wild’s win over the Coyotes on Saturday. On Monday, the Wild recalled Pat Cannone to take Haula’s spot in the lineup, a sign that the two-way centre will not play on Tuesday.

Haula has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the Wild lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Haula has picked up one goal and one assist in four games this season.

Haula has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss at least another week. Expect the Wild to recall a centre from Iowa to fill-in for the injured Zac Dalpe until Haula is ready to play.

Haula has reportedly been playing through a lower-body injury for a week, but might not be able to go tonight vs. the Devils. If Haula can’t go, Joel Eriksson Ek is expected to make his NHL debut.

Haula missed game one, but will be back in the lineup for game two. He had 34 points (14G / 20A) in 76 games this season and has eight points (5G / 3A) in 15 career playoff games in 2014 and 15.

Haula has been listed as questionable for game one, but travelling to Dallas suggests that he will be in the lineup on Thursday. With that said, monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Haula missed his second straight practice with an undisclosed injury, but head coach John Torchetti said that he “likes Haula’s chances” of playing in Game 1. Haula was on a tear in March, but has been held off of the scoresheet for the last four games. He finished the year with 14 goals and 20 assists (34 points) in 76 games.
