Jake Middleton - Nets first goal Middleton scored a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact Middleton cut Minnesota's deficit to 4-3 late in the third period, setting up in the slot before sliding a wrist shot past Vitek Vanecek. While the goal was his first of the season, the 27-year-old Middleton has offered decent offensive production early in the year, tallying six points in nine games after he recorded just 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in 79 contests last season. Middleton should continue to work in an expanded role on Minnesota's second pairing with both Jared Spurgeon (upper body) and Alex Goligoski (lower body) on long-term injured reserve.

Erik Haula - Scores again Sunday Haula tallied a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over Minnesota.

Impact Haula's now scored three goals in his last two games. He's up to five goals and six points through his first seven contests after logging 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 80 games with the Devils last season. While his current pace may not be sustainable, Haula does offer some scoring upside despite a bottom-six role with limited power-play time.

Tyler Toffoli - Adds another power-play goal Toffoli scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Toffoli tied the game 2-2 in the second period, deflecting a feed from Jesper Bratt past Marc-Andre Fleury on a New Jersey power play. The 31-year-old Toffoli has been on fire of late, tallying seven goals in his last five games, including three with the man advantage. He's up to 10 points (seven goals, three assists) through eight games this season while skating alongside Jack Hughes on the Devils' top line.

Kevin Bahl - Dealing with illness Bahl was under the weather Monday, forcing him to miss practice, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Bahl will have plenty of time to get back to 100 percent with the team not playing again until Thursday's matchup with Minnesota. The defenseman has recorded two assists, eight shots on goal and 16 hits while averaging 19:05 of ice time through the first eight contests. If Bahl does miss out, Cal Foote figures to be the first in line to play versus the Wild.

Jujhar Khaira - Dropped back to minors Khaira was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.

Impact Khaira made just one appearance for the Wild during this stint in the NHL, logging a mere 8:05 of ice time in which he recorded one shot on goal and one blocked shot. The 29-year-old winger has been significantly more productive in the minors where he has four assists in four games. With Minnesota off until Thursday's clash with New Jersey, Khaira could be brought back up ahead of that contest, though that doesn't guarantee he will play.

Daemon Hunt - Assigned to AHL Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.

Impact Hunt picked up one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot while averaging 4:53 of ice time in Minnesota's past two games. He has seven PIM and a minus-3 rating in four AHL appearances this campaign.
