Wild's Erik Haula: Returns for World Cup

Haula (hip) has played for his native Finland during the World Cup, posting one point on one goal with a plus-minus of minus-1 through three preliminary games and Sunday's loss to Team North America.

Analysis:

Haula hasn't been one of Finland's go-to guys during the tournament, averaging just 11:09 per game and not even seeing the ice against Sweden on Tuesday. There has been no indication that the absence was injury-related. He will look to expand his role in Minnesota this season after posting career bests in points, goals, and assists last season.
