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.
