Finishes with 35 points Haula ended the 2023-24 season with 16 goals, 35 points and 155 shots on goal in 76 appearances.

Impact Haula also set a career high with 54 PIM, and his minus-1 rating was his worst since a minus-16 mark with the Golden Knights in 2017-18. Ironically, that season in Vegas was Haula's most productive from an offensive standpoint (29 goals and 55 points), but he didn't provide nearly enough offense in 2023-24 to help counterbalance New Jersey's teamwide defensive struggles as the Devils fell short of the postseason.

His last multi-point game came Feb. 6, and Haula has just three goals and three assists in 20 subsequent appearances. Overall, Haula's at 14 goals and 31 points in 62 games.

Impact Haula set up a Nico Hischier empty-net goal to close out the win. The 32-year-old Haula has remained as the second-line center since Jack Hughes returned Feb. 8. Staying in the top six is good news for Haula's scoring potential, though he's still likely to be a complementary player. He's at 27 points, 93 shots on net, 49 hits, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 46 appearances.

The 32-year-old is up to 25 points, 86 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-1 rating through 42 contests. Haula continues to play as a middle-six center, though he could move down the lineup or onto the wing once Jack Hughes (upper body) returns.

Snags two helpers Haula recorded a pair of assists against the Capitals on Wednesday.

Impact It was Haula's second multi-point game of the season but he remains stuck in an eight-game goal drought during which he registered just 14 shots. Despite the slump, the veteran continues to slot into a second-line role while seeing limited minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Productive in return Haula recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Haula, who missed Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers with an upper-body injury, looked sharp in his 12:16 of ice time against the Bruins. The third-line winger has seven goals and just as many assists through 22 games this season, rendering him a decent fantasy option even though he's not consistently utilized on the power play.

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

Impact 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.
