Erik Haula - NHL News & Rumors

On injured reserve Haula (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Haula hasn't played since Jan. 4, so he can be activated whenever he's healthy. Putting him on IR likely had less to do with his timetable and was instead done to enable the corresponding move of Colton White's recall from AHL Utica. Haula has five goals, 11 points, 29 PIM and 67 hits in 42 outings in 2024-25.

Impact Haula was absent from Sunday's morning skate due to an ankle injury, and Keefe said later in the day that the 33-year-old would miss some time. Haula was initially labeled as day-to-day, but Keefe's comments Monday suggest that the center is closer to week-to-week after being diagnosed with a sprain.

Goals in consecutive games Haula scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Impact Haula is warming up on offense with goals in consecutive games. The 33-year-old center is up to six points, 11 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating through eight contests. He's the Devils' third-line center, but his all-situations usage often leads to him being a top-six forward in terms of actual ice time. His scoring pace is a bit high compared to his usual level, so don't expect Haula to keep this going throughout the campaign.

Tallies opening goal Haula scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Haula's first goal of the season came at 2:39 of the second period. While he's struggled to put up shots with just eight over seven contests, the 33-year-old has done a decent job as a middle-six playmaker. He's added four assists and a plus-2 rating while adding 12 hits. Haula's ice time has been down this year -- he averaged 16:53 last year but is at 14:24 per game in 2024-25, which is likely a product of Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier staying healthy early on.
