Erik Haula News

The Minnesota Wild has recalled forward Erik Haula from the Iowa Wild (AHL) because Mike Rupp has been designated non-roster status and will leave the team for personal reasons.

Haula is tied for 2nd on Iowa with 10 points (4G / 6A) in 18 games this season. The 5-foot-11, 192-pound forward is expected to make his NHL debut tonight as the Minnesota hosts Colorado. The 22-year-old totaled two assists in six games with Houston (AHL) last season and two points in five playoff contests.
